They're all dead, all of them, yet it wasn't all that difficult to imagine what they might have done while alive, though really only for a few minutes at a time. Miers Fisher's almanac/journal served as a prime example of the ease with which a few minutes worth of reading can bring a whole day of someone's life to life.
What's the relationship between story-telling and infinity? Are there only a relatively small and finite number of ways that stories are told, or are there an infinite numbers of ways that stories are told? The correct answer is probably "a relatively large and finite number of ways," working on the assumption that nothing lasts forever.

From The Discovery of Piranesi's Final Project:
27 September 2022 Tuesday
It's been starting to feel like I'm losing touch with Piranesi, and that itself is worrisome.
But wait a minute. That feeling makes perfect sense, because right now in 1778 Piranesi is very likely beginning to show signs of fading away from this life (so to speak).
Last Friday night I wondered whether Piranesi, while looking through his works for instances of ancient circuses, was at the same time sending Francesco out to the various sites to see if there was any new data to record. That would explain why it's otherwise 'quiet' at the workshop.
Then it dawned on me how Francesco's been the leading animating force of this story.

Class: I guess, now-a-days and all-around, class is largely measured by what one buys [or is bumped up into].
