No matter whether one is flying over Newfoundland or the sea of lights that stretches from Boston to Philadelphia after nightfall, over the Arabian deserts which gleam like mother-of-pearl, over the Ruhr or the city of Frankfurt, it is as though there were no people, only the things they have made and in which they are hiding.

W.G. Sebald, from The Rings of Saturn (New Directions 1998)

Sharks first appeared 450 million years ago, making them older than trees (which appeared somewhere between 350 and 420 million years ago), The Himalayas (which came into being 50 million years ago) and even The Rings of Saturn (which formed 100 million years ago)

“What was stirring within FitzGerald’s breast as he leant back in his carriage watching the hedgerows and cornfields pass by outside is not recorded, but perhaps it resembled the feelings he once experienced as he sat in the mail coach from Leicester to Cambridge, when the sight of the summer countryside made him feel like an angel because suddenly, without knowing why, he found he had tears of happiness in his eyes.” W.G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn

And Sir Thomas Browne, who was the son of a silk merchant and may well have had an eye for these things, remarks in a passage of the Pseudodoxia Epidemica that I can no longer find that in the Holland of his time it was customary, in a home where there had been a death, to drape black mourning ribbons over all the mirrors and all canvasses depicting landscapes or people or the fruits of the field, so that the soul, as it left the body, would not be distracted on its final journey, either by a reflection of itself or by a last glimpse of a land now being lost for ever.

W.G. Sebald, final lines to The rings of Saturn (tr. Michael Hulse, New Directions 1998)
