But the passage you selected is fantastic, as you know. The paradox of vision, that as far as you can see is as far as you can corrupt, or you can only see what you have corrupted, that’s an axial insight for the book. It doesnt’ only apply to travel either, but also to the subject of the book. Recall that time, the destroyer, has worn away the substance of his memories, leaving only the insignificant details with which to build; and now, finally, that he has only twenty-year old rubble to build with, he can make something significant out of these old experiences. The paradox shows up in other versions as well, let’s keep our eyes out for them.
