PART TWO

THE BLUE PAGES

The camera is much more than a recording apparatus, it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world.

—Orson Welles


Many cities of men the traveller saw, and learned

the turnings of their streets and of their minds.

Many sufferings he learned as well,

drifting heartsick upon the endless open sea,

striving to keep his life within his breast

and bear his comrades home.

But he could not lift their stars from their shoulders,

not even with his whole strength.

Recklessness destroyed them all,

those blind fools who in madness

devoured the Cattle of the Sun—

and so it was that bright god removed from them

their homecoming.

—Homer, The Odyssey
