1900：It wasn't what I saw that stopped me, Max.It was what I didn't see. You Understand that? What I didnt' see. In all that sprawling¹ city, there was everything except an end. There was no end.What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.You take a piano. Keys begin.The keys end. You know there are 88 of them. Nobody can tell you any different.They are not infinite².You are infinite. And on those keys the music that you can make is infinite. I like that.That I can live by. You get me up on that gangway and you roll out in front of me a keyboard of millions of keys, millions and billions of keys that never end, and that's the truth Max that they never end. That keyboard is infinite. And if that keyboard is infinite there's no music you can play. You're sitting on the wrong bench. That's God's piano. Christ³, did you see the streets? Just the streets!There were thousands of them! How do you do it down there? How do you choose just one? One woman, one house, one piece of land to call your own, one landscape to look at, one way to die. All that world weighing down on you without you knowing where it ends. Aren't you scared of just breaking apart just thinking about it, the enormity of living in it?
