The Escher exhibition at Somerset House. Everyone in the world was there. The organisers planned the exhibition using the Escher as a template. As above. Up, down, and back to where you started. Like life. Kafka doorways for all, not only for you. Escher images crush three dimensions into two dimensions. A globe on a plane. Flat. Discover hyperbolic geometry.

On planes too, the TV plot of the route from UK to USA.

August, so organisers crush three dimensions into three.

Palladian courtyard. Children meanwhile play in the fountains alongside adults who dared to. ‘ No man is so secure that he does not dare to climb. A girl can’t keep on laughing all the time.’

I knew a man from Kazakhstan who understood those lines from Empson.
