Cities and Desire #1 - Dorothea
…there are two ways of describing the city of Dorothea: you can say that four aluminum towers rise from its walls flanking seven gates with spring- operated drawbridges that span the moat whose water feeds four green canals which cross the city, dividing it into nine quarters, each with three hundred houses and seven hundred chimneys.
…Or else you can say, …before then I had known only the desert and the caravan routes. In the years that followed, my eyes returned to contemplate the desert expanses and the caravan routes; but now I know this path is only one of the many that opened before me on that morning in Dorothea."
'Le citta invisibili' Invisible Cities quoted text is translated from the Italian, by William Weaver, in the English translation copyright © 1974 by Harcourt Brace & Company.
