Haunted Water | Or, Finding the Fire line (May 3, 1901)
Hogan's Creek, adjacent to Karpeles Manuscript Museum
They all fail, but this one failed most fully.
And so now to find in the failure a lesson . . .
Of a brief and incomplete "writing on water" installation, undermined finally by the unrelenting and imperceptible tidal undercurrent of the creek (along with its troubling toxins), pushing and pulling the letters, the haunted waters resistant to their own inscription.
