Binder holes, adhesive, and defects on the left margins. "Men also want to ignore that the future is unknown; they are afraid of the unknown because it is the obvious proof of their cowardice. A very beautiful manifesto letter regarding the place of man in time.

'Prinner showed me your letter. This sensation, of which a hermetic vision of the world is made through an invisible spider's web, is the precious and sensitive LINK that is indisputably the only valid and stimulating one.

How I understand your message and how in turn I feel that we are, during these long years where reality flows with all its entourage of habits, which only confirm its path towards the inevitable death of values that arise from a dead-end rationalism. [sic], on the lookout, waiting for that element [sic] of attachment, thirsty and functional like a "praying mantis," the encounter of this event, transposed into a MAN, who like you, the isolated island that exists with certainty, but only chance, and here its enormous sumptuousness of the unexpected, can give it its invigorating meaning. One feels, without being able to escape the laws of doubt, that there is an anatomy of affinity, as if there were a graph where one can glimpse the nerve centers, which will be those we must meet throughout life.

The laws that govern these encounters are certainly willfully ignored by current methods of thought, which only want to reduce themselves to the presentation of a future earthly paradise. But men also want to ignore that the future is unknown; they are afraid of the unknown because it is the obvious proof of their cowardice.

That is why from criticism, self-criticism, over-criticism, the river of justifications is born, which is yet another remarkable sign of petrification, but a kind of "soft petrification," where one must eliminate fundamental anxieties through a compromise, those of life or death, those of the unconscious or chance. This is to express to you my joy that on your sensitive triangle fountain of contemplation my name also appears (Brassaï, Prinner, and me) and also to tell you that at this very moment, and perhaps even before, your appearance in my life, the rainbow from the available other end, was destined for you, the foundation of friendship.
