#494 Le Monde Familier

Place the bell, le grelot, firmly
on the ground. No need to
anchor it — unlike the artist’s 
elsewhere use of it, this time 
it does not float. A solid
reality keeps it where it is

intended to be. Then lower
the horizon & not only bring 
the cloud down with it but
also shift it forward so it seems 
out of place but perfectly posit-
ioned above the bell. Now, to 

ensure it doesn’t float away, 
flatten the sky behind & call
upon that peripatetic rock to
actually do something, anchor
the column from above, act 
as a counterweight to entropy.
