Looking and seeing imply a desire to enter into something, to inhabit it. Yet too often this desire turns out to be mere curiosity, and even before crossing the threshold, we find ourselves helplessly on the outside, feeling rather sheepish, as reason has replaced both our senses and our spirits as the principal means of comprehending an elsewhere that has become colder and ever more remote. Thus, what has become important is not the seeing but perhaps the observation of the instrument that is looking.
