The stranger is thus being discussed here not in the sense often touched upon in the past, as the wanderer who comes today and goes tomorrow, but rather as the person who comes today and stays tomorrow—that is, he remains the potential wanderer. Although he has not moved on, he has not quite given up the freedom of coming and going.

Georg Simmel
“Exkurs über den Fremden,” 1908

General Knowledge is Remote Knowledge; it is in Particulars that Wisdom consists & Happiness too. Both in Art & in Life, General Masses are as Much Art as a Pasteboard Man is Human.

William Blake
“A Vision of the Last Judgment,” 1810
