“Once you learn the maze or see the labyrinth whole, then, elaborate chaos is transformed into pattern.”
― The Idea of the Labyrinth from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages
― The Idea of the Labyrinth from Classical Antiquity through the Middle Ages
“[M]aze-treaders, whose vision ahead and behind is severely constricted and fragmented, suffer confusion, whereas maze-viewers who see the pattern whole, from above or in a diagram, are dazzled by its complex artistry. What you see depends on where you stand . . . Our perception of labyrinths is thus intrinsically unstable: change your perspective and the labyrinth seems to change.”
