214 The discoverers of trivialities. -Subtle spirits, for whom nothing lies farther afield than a triviality, often discover one of these after following all sorts of roundabout ways and mountain trails and take great pleasure therein, to the amazement of those who are not subtle

I saw only your shadow above me and it was hard to see if you flew away or straight down into the ground towards me

You can shine a light on it
but why not three
and see the shadows

The best room in the house is often
the one you can see the furthest
I wonder what that is about

Last night somewhere somewhere in my dreams I stood on dry land a pier underwater I was waiting for the boat it seems without doors only when I turned around did I see the door open

what we have measured

What have you done? Take a rest here, this spot is hospitable to everyone, – relax! And whoever you may be: what would you like now? What do you find relaxing?
