Summary

This quote by Jean Baudrillard suggests a provocative idea about the nature of our existence. It proposes that our perception of reality, represented as our eyes, is merely a temporary recording of our experiences. It implies that after we die, these experiences are taken from us and played back elsewhere, almost like a film in an infernal cinema or stored as microfilm in the vastness of outer space. Baudrillard's quote questions the intrinsic value and meaning of our lives, suggesting that they serve a more cosmic and mysterious purpose beyond our earthly existence.

Sunrays, leaning on our southern hills and lightingWild cloud-mountains that drag the hills along,Oft ends the day of your shifting brilliant laughterChill as a dull face frowning on a song.Ay, but shows the South-west a ripple-feathered bosomBlown to silver while the clouds are shaken and ascendScaling the mid-heavens as they stream, there comes a sunsetRich, deep like love in beauty without end.
