LIFE AND LETTERS OF MARCEL DUCHAMP
A family likeness pleases when there
is a cessation of resemblances. This is to say
that points of remarkable resemblance are those which
make Henry leading. Henry leading actually smothers
Emil. Emil is pointed. He does not overdo
examples. He even hesitates.
But am I sensible. Am I not rather
efficient in sympathy or common feeling.
I was looking to see if I could make Marcel out of
it but I can’t.
Not a doctor to me not a debtor to
me not a d to me but a c to me a credit to me.
To interlace a story with glass and with rope with
color and roam.
How many people roam.
Dark people roam.
Can dark people come from the north.
Are they dark then. Do they begin to be dark
when they have come from there.
Any question leads away from me. Grave a boy
grave.
What I do recollect is this.
I collect black and white. From the standpoint
of white all color is color. From the standpoint
of black. Black is white. White is black.
Black is black. White is black. White and
black is black and white. What I recollect when
I am there is that words are not birds. How easily
I feel thin. Birds do not. So I replace
birds with tin-foil. Silver is thin.
Life and letters of Marcel Duchamp.
Quickly return the unabridged restraint and mention
letters.
My dear Fourth.
Confess to me in a quick saying. The vote is
taken.
The lucky strike works well and difficultly.
It rounds, it sounds round. I cannot conceal
attrition. Let me think. I repeat the fullness
of bread. In a way not bread. Delight me.
I delight a lamb in birth.
