Personal Geography

Man is called by the ancients a world in miniature and certainly this name is well applied, for just as man is composed of earth, water, air and fire, so is the body of the earth. If man has in him bones which are the support of the flesh, the world has rocks which are the support and armour of the earth; if man has in himself the sea of blood, in which the lungs rise and fall in breathing, so the body of the earth has its oceanic seas which also rises and falls every six hours for the world to breath. If from the said sea of blood spring veins which go on ramifying throughout the human body, similarly the oceanic sea fills the body of the earth with infinite veins of water. --Leonardo Da Vinci

Mapping The Territories

"The anatomist is the allegry of curiosity. He is the invador of private spaces... By repute he is one down in the socail hierarchy from the barber-surgoen and two down from the gossip-mongering midwife... is it surprising that contemporary fiction in the forensic lab gives a specail life to the Anatomist? He is commonly a misanthropc philosopher, or a laughing melancholic, or a most common-sense atheist, or all three, and we understand perfectly well why that should be."
Peter Greenaway, 100 allegories to Represent the world. (Merrel Holborn Pubishing 1998)
