AVOID ALLNETWORKS
..................................The Mythic Library is located a little west of the square, in the old quarter of the city; it luxuriates in the eloquence of peculiarity.
Large and complex, it takes delight in random contexts wherein discovery has a magical essence.
Photocopies litter the floors of the galleries like fallen leaves.
Infinitly fertile in their suggestions, the Long Indexes are not alphabetical but are arrayed according to more poetic concerns. Oblivion is
found under evocation, distraction within abstraction.
I look up the naming of the seas of the moon. Seething Bay and the Sea of Clouds are located in the archive of memory, filed under 'The permanent timelessness of delirium' (see History as Imagination).
In the halls and corridors a slow erosion of memory continues, painstakingly and with difficulty.
Constantly undergoing renovation, frescoes dissappear under washes of pink paint, painters work lanquidly on images of angels and digital circuitry, of cows in the snow.
Holograms enhance the long corridors and gardens,
Another new wing is being added.
There is an air of indifference towards a meaningless, forgotten original, a concern with rendering a sublimity which echoes the
predominant interest in significance over fact.
The roof garden is hugh and rambling, covering nearly twenty hectares. Here, little cottages are going to rack and ruin, fruit trees, garden shrubs and flowers grow wild. There is an exhibition in 'Mt Kate Hut' where all the doors are locked. Only one image is illuminated and partially concealed by an open door.
Outside, beans and melons against a trellis rain like silk strands
In the far distance lies the land of terrible aspect, covered by dark impenetrable jungles of horizontal scrub and impassable rivers. In this place, lashed by unceasing rains and storms, mosquitoes carry the keys to the gardens of delirium, permanent, timeless and unchanging.
Thunder and lightening West wind.
There is no rhyme or reason to the way the earth expresses itself...............................................................................
