The Ecstatic and the Sarcastic.....Paradigmadarte. Alexander Kanoldt (Germany, 1881-1939) - "Telegraph Wires" 1921

 Sit by the window and move far.

Range over the landscapes, quiet, dark and bright by turns,
suddenly overwhelmed by the sounds hovering around you
Unable to sort out the the real from the dream.
Caves and oceans and spaces.
Ah, the drunkenness!
The ecstatic and the sarcastic!
the tones and the needs of the hour, you rise and fall,
and hold on to the small voice that stays assured
because some beloved certainty is traveling with you all the time.

“You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? [...] you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”
(Albert Einstein)
