I would have stopped, but I was pursued by something… Perhaps it was a familiar bit of music. Perhaps it was only a piece of transparent glass. ― Tennessee Williams
"So let us admit it then: Fragility is an insufferable quality. Its rigid preciousness conceals a sadism demanding that everyone walk on eggshells or hang by tenterhooks."
this makes me think of herzog's heart of glass and the german film, the wall. also of how mirrors will corrode and become windows. good one. thoughtful and thought-inspiring .
Thanks so much! I did indeed take the title from Herzog's film, which I loved when I saw it long ago. Is the German film from 2012, about a wall surrounding a valley? Havent seen it, but it looks like a curious Exterminating Angel riff...
