‘[...] it becomes more and more imperative to point to the real boundaries between seeing and speaking, or sentence and visual configuration. And imperative to keep alive a not in of a kind of visuality that truly establishes itself at the edge of the verbal — never wholly apart from it, that is, never out of discourse’s clutches, but able and willing to exploit the difference between a sign and a one, say, or a syntactical structure and a physical (visual, material) interval).” — Clark, Sight of Death, 176
