13. The clepsydra… Everyone was amused by the candor and naivety of such questioning, as well as by the nature of the useless correspondences this man was establishing between beings, words and things. From the manufacture of chamfers to that of the finest lace, from knowledge of the lunar calendar to the practice of the bouzkashi, from the use of the clepsydra to that of the koto, not one aspect of this abundance seemed to escape his collection.
WIVIWIC:13. La clepsydre… On s’amusait donc de la candeur et de la naïveté d’un tel questionnement, ainsi que de la nature des correspondances bien inutiles que cet homme établissait entre les êtres, les mots et les choses. De la fabrique des chanfreins, à celle des dentelles les plus fines, de la connaissance du calendrier lunaire, à la pratique du bouzkashi, de l’usage de la clepsydre à celle du koto, pas un aspect de ce foisonnement ne semblait échapper à sa collecte.
