We can appreciate but not really understand the medieval town. We cannot comprehend its compactness, the contiguity of all its buildings as a single uninterrupted whole.

We settled this continent without art. So it was easy for us to treat it as an imported luxury, not a necessity.

Illusion is needed to disguise the emptiness within.
