more December
For a week now,
I've been travelling around my house, exploring it like something new, finding new light, new corners, new shadows.
In 1790, Xavier de Maistre toured his flat and composed
a travelogue: Journey Around My Bedroom. Eight years later
he set off again, by night this time,
to the window ledge, and wrote Nocturnal Expedition
around My Bedroom. By thirty-five
there was no reason to believe his life
was elsewhere.
