"I do not know if it has ever been noted before that one
of the main characteristics of life is discreteness.
Unless a film of flesh envelops us, we die. Man exists
only insofar as he is separated from his surroundings.
The cranium is a space-traveler's helmet. Stay inside
or you perish. Death is divestment, death is communion.
It may be wonderful to mix with the landscape, but to do
so is the end of the tender ego."
