I had fallen in love with the camera, with technique, with beautiful shots, with experimentation for its own sake… It was a totally intellectual film, and therefore less than human.
“I even I, am he who knoweth the roads
Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body.
I have beheld the Lady of Life,
I, even I, who fly with the swallows.
Green and gray is her raiment,
Trailing along the wind.
I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads
Through the sky, and the wind thereof is my body.”
Ezra Pound | “De Aegypto”
