ordinarily,

we look at something and our gaze is like a fine wire or taut thread with two supports- one being the eye and the other what it sees, and there's some great support structure for every second that passes; but at this particular second, on the contrary, it is rather as though something painfully sweet were pulling our eye-beams apart.

-robert musil, from "the man without qualities"
