our knowledge is historical, flowing, and flown.I've never been a good swimmer, but I could take this short pamphlet of a book, I thought. Submerge within its allusions, recollections, and metaphors as Gracq quietly whispers, never above the register of the water itself, serpentine river-like sentences in my ear.
--Elizabeth Bishop, 'At the Fishhouses'
