Index Entry

Motion:

"In his carelessly accepted

scenic environment...

"He fails to comprehend

the exquisite speeds

at which infinite numbers

of atomic components

course....

"But he cannot see light

Which moves at 500 times

the speed of the fastest moving propeller tip...

"For, though sensing motion only relatively,

and that to limited degree,

man has nevertheless measured

and fixatingly accumulated

first by subconscious storage--

later by records in books--

his constantly re-experienced engagements with motion,

such as the days, tides, and heartbeats, and finally music."
