Gregory's ServerAnd in time, there will come a generation that had got beyond facts, beyond impressions, a generation absolutely colourless, a generation "seraphically free from taint of personality," which will see the French Revolution not as it happened, nor as they would like it to have happened, but as it would have happened, had it taken place in the days of the Machine.

@monkey1 I haven't no, but a quick search looks really appealing. I'll find a copy :) Thanks for the suggestion.  @neauoire preparing my treatise on Devine Lu Linvega's quoting of E. M. Forster. It'll probably go a little like "Since Linvega deliberately avoided adding any commentary of his own, we must not only content ourselves with the layout of the page, the indentation of the quote and the fonts chosen, but also with the absence of any hues, a choice that starkly frames the quote in its original black-and-white, leaving us to contemplate Forster’s words as they are, unadorned and undisturbed." @lritter "It's also important to note the connection made here with other texts such as shining stones, shining wire and majmasz, again, given without commentary." @neauoire "... as suggested by the author in the following Mastodon toot on February 24th, 2024:" |

Have you read David Abram's _The Spell of the Sensous_?
It's a really good take on the need to add the phenomenological lens to our conceptions of reality.
A life-altering book.
