Marc explains the horizon to France: “When you look at the hills beyond the houses and beyond the trees where the earth touches the sky, that’s the horizon. Tomorrow in the daytime I’ll show you something. The closer you get to that line, the farther it moves. If you walk toward it, it moves away. It flees from you. I must also explain this to you. You see the line. You see it, but it doesn’t exist.”
