PART III

Culture, Imagination, and Everyday Life

’Tis wonderful from how many idle beginnings and frivolous causes such famous impressions commonly proceed. . . . To this very hour, all these miracles and strange events have concealed themselves from me: I have never seen greater monster or miracle in the world than myself: one grows familiar with all strange things by time and custom, but the more I frequent and the better I know myself, the more does my own deformity astonish me, the less I understand myself.

—Montaigne, Essais (book 3, chap. 11, “Of Cripples”)
