“Actions are interesting to watch. I learn about the actors. Their movements are emblems of the tensions in this internal landscape, which their actions resolve. About-to-act is an interesting state to experience, because I am conscious of just those tensions. Acting itself feels fairly dull; it not only resolves, it obliterates those tensions from my consciousness. Acting is only interesting as it leads to new tensions that, irrelevantly, cause me to act again.” FeelsStatesActionActorsCausesInterestingActingConsciousnessWatchesMovementConsciousLandscapeTensionDullInternalsResolveEmblems Book:Dhalgren Source: Dhalgren
