“A man learns style from everything,
but I learned mine
from things on which I moved,
which brought a valuable knowledge
of pace and rhythm.
Out of rhythm come many things,
perhaps all things.
The physical action
compels action of another order
action of mind, memory,
imagination, dream, order,
balance and so on.
On the way
I learned all the things without which
I could never be the person I am.
I was very young when I understood a great deal,
from having ridden bicycles for so long,
about style, speed, grace,
value, form, integrity, health,
humor, music, breathing,
and finally and perhaps best,
of the relationship between
the beginning and the end.
(William Saroyan-1952)”
Here it comes...
Hypnotic spiraling of the spokes of a speeding bike, the rhythmical exhaling of breath, the pivot of the pedal in torsion, road and wheel, speed past under the fork...
