Epigraph
"Living an experience, a particular fate, is accepting it fully.… It is not a matter of explaining and solving, but of experiencing and describing."
—ALBERT CAMUS,
The Myth of Sisyphus
"And still deeper the meaning of that story of Narcissus, who because he could not grasp the tormenting, mild image he saw in the fountain, plunged into it and was drowned. But that same image, we ourselves see…. It is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all."
—HERMAN MELVILLE,
Moby Dick
