Desire is movement rather than place. But even more, the memory of that long and haphazard pursuit speaks of a certain kind of relation to the rest of the world: experience rejected in favor of remembrance, the center rejected in favor of the margin. A sense of the beautiful hovering just beyond your reach, to be reflected upon and considered. The reflection becomes, in its own way, another kind of possessing. // From “The Elusive Embrace” / Daniel Mendelsohn / 1999 (Incomplete and Open 4:1 Redux Again and Again).
