Augie: "You'll never get it if you don't slow down, my friend."
Paul: "What do you mean?"
A: "I mean, you're going too fast. You're hardly even looking
at the pictures."
P: "But they're all the same."
A: "They're all the same, but each one is different from every
other one.
You've got your bright mornings and your dark mornings.
You've got your summer light and your autumn light.
You've got your weekdays and your weekends.
You've got your people in overcoats and galoshes, and you've
got your people in T-shirts and shorts.
Sometimes the same people, sometimes different ones. And
sometimes the different ones become the same, and the same
ones disappear. The earth revolves around the sun, and every
day the light from the sun hits the earth at a different angle."
P: "Slow down, huh?"
A: "Yeah, that's what I'd recommend. You know how it is.
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, time creeps on
its petty pace."
