itself, consigning things that have not yet happened to the past, to
an “already” that is forever behind itself, and in this space between
utterance and act, word after word, a chasm begins to open, and for
one to contemplate such emptiness for any length of time is to grow
dizzy, to feel oneself falling into the abyss.
— Paul Auster, The Invention of Solitude
