| LINE IS LIKE THE THREAD THAT ARIADNE GAVE TO THESEUS BEFORE HE ENTERED THE MYSTERIOUS RECESSES OF THE LABYRINTH: IT IS WHAT GUIDES US IN OUR ENCOUNTER WITH THE LABYRINTH ALL AROUND US. WITHOUT LINE WE WOULD INSTANTLY BE LOST, NEVER AGAIN FINDING OUR WAY OUT OF THE MAZE. LET US FOLLOW LINE WHEREVER IT LEADS US — PERHAPS TO SOMETHING CONCRETE AND PRECISE, PERHAPS INTO THE SUBCONSCIOUS, THE LAND OF FANTASY. | ||
