About This Quote

A few minutes in a new place is enough to delight in the symmetry of the world. When the same thing is repeated over and over, it can become a source of fascination, a source of connection. Note: The symmetry of the world can be found in poems such as this one by Elizabeth Bishop where she describes the same scene from many different perspectives.
