about this site

"Choses vues" (Things seen.) Title of Victor Hugo's journals.
"Ich lerne sehen." (I'm learning to see.) From Rainer Rilke's Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

This site is a clearing-house for words, ideas, books, thoughts, adventures, women, heart-ache and Welt und Erde. Mostly literary, definitely preposterous.
