“Perhaps make a HINGE PICTURE. (folding yardstick, book...) develop in space the PRINCIPLE OF THE HINGE in the displacements 1st in the plane 2nd in space.”
—Marcel Duchamp, Note for the Green Box
“Two boys were sitting on the wall by the jetty playing dice. A man was reading a newspaper on the steps of a monument in the shadow of a hero wielding a sabre. A young girl was filling her tub with water at a fountain. A fruit seller was lying close to his produce and looking out to sea. Through the empty openings of the door and window of a bar two men could be seen drinking wine in the back. The landlord was sitting at a table in the front dozing. A small boat glided lightly into the small harbour, as if it were being carried over the water. A man in a blue jacket climbed out onto land and pulled the ropes through the rings. Behind the man from the boat, two other men in dark coats with silver buttons carried a bier, on which, under a large silk scarf with a floral pattern and fringe, a man was obviously lying.”
—Franz Kafka, opening paragraph of “The Hunter Gracchus”
