Line and Plane

The spreading out, especially in the case of a short, straight line, bears a relation to the growing point. Here, too, the question “When does the line as such die out, and at what moment is a plane born?”, remains without a definite answer. How shall the question “Where does the river stop and the sea begin?”, be answered?

The boundaries are indefinite and mobile, Everything here depends upon proportions, as was the case with the point—the absolute is reduced by the relative to an indistinct, subdued sound. In practice, this “approaching-of-the-boundary” is much more precisely expressed than in pure theory.34 The “approaching-of-the-boundary” is a potent source of expression, a powerful means (in the final analysis, an element) to ends in composition.
