"In Mexico City they somehow wandered into an exhibition of paintings by the
beautiful Spanish exile Remedios Varo: in the central paintings of a
triptych, titled 'Bordando el Manto Terrestre', were a number of frail girls
with heart-shaped faces, huge eyes, spun-gold hair, prisoners in the top
room of a circular tower, embroidering a kind of tapestry which spilled out
the slit windows and into a void, seeking hopelessly to fill the void: for
all the other buildings and creatures, all the waves, ships and forests of
the earth were contained in this tapestry, and the tapestry was the world."
Thomas Pynchon - The Crying of Lot 49
