Too much contemplation of any object, however unwilling the gaze, may reveal a secret. Better to change the angle of view as often as possible.
“The hour between night and dawn… when most people die, sleep is deepest, nightmares are most real. It is the hour when the sleepless are haunted by their worst anguish, when ghosts and demons are most powerful. The hour of the wolf is also the hour when most babies are born.”
Ingmar Bergman
