The taste and smell of an action, any action, comes from its objective. This is the strange thing about relationship. What you desire is what creates quality. You are not made by yourself, but by the thing that you want. It is that sense of a mutually seductive world that an itinerant life provides. Because you are always watching and entering, your interest in fixtures grows weary and your strongest tie is the the stuff off to the side traveling with you. 

--Fanny Howe

The serious reflection is composed

Neither of comic nor tragic but of commonplace.

Wallace Stevens
