the trance of travel

“And the unity of all the views of a train journey is not established on the basis of the circle itself (whose parts remain sealed), nor on the basis of the thing contemplated, but on a transversal that we never cease to follow, moving ‘from one window to the next.’ For travel does not connect places, but affirms only their difference.”

(Gilles Deleuze, Proust & Signs, trans. Richard Howard, pp. 126–127)
