What
do I see around myself, in everyday life? Most of the time
nothing... That is, only the things and creatures required to be
seen to sustain everyday routine. Once in a while a wish crosses my
mind to share the view with someone else or with a camera.
The
scanty conceptions to which we can attain of celestial things give
us, from their excellence, more pleasure than all our knowledge of
the world in which we live; just as a half glimpse of persons that
we love is more delightful than a leisurely view of other things,
whatever their number and dimensions.
Aristotle:
Parts of animals, Bk I, ch.5; in The basic works of Aristotle
(Richard McKeon, ed.), Random House, New York, 1941.

All those people who
force upon you the albums with photos of their children, relatives
and pets when you visit them, why are they doing that?
