(poetics of space, chapter 6, Corners) by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. “every corner in a house, every angle in a room, every inch of secluded space in which we hide, or withdraw into ourselves, is a symbol of solitude for the imagination: it is the germ of a room, or of house. Only the dreamer of corners will understand the full meaning of curling up in contemplation and the simple joys of declined repose. A corner that is “lived in” tends to reject the restrain, even hide, life. In one’s corner one does not talk to oneself. When we recall the hours we spent in our corners, we remember above all the silence, the silence of our thoughts.

Provided on a stretched canvas frame.
