A pair of wings, a different respiratory system, which
enabled us to travel through space, would in no way help us, for if we
visited Mars or Venus while keeping the same senses, they
would clothe everything we could see in the same aspect as the
things of the Earth. The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain
of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to
possess other eyes, to see the universe through the eyes of another,
of a hundred others, to see the hundred universes that each of them
sees, that each of the is.
