"When the sun, after hovering majestically on the horizon, sinks and suddenly disappears from sight, we understand that between this star and us exists a mode of communication that, without our having to touch it, brings us a presence of mind. This mode of communication, which exercises itself over incommensurable distances and is transmitted via the eyes - this, and this alone, is light."
- Jacques Roubaud (from Exchanges On Light)
