"The arrival of a Land Surveyor was no small event." Kafka, The Castle. "The philosophical remarks in this book are, as it were, a number of sketches of landscapes... the same points were always being approached afresh from different directions, and new sketches made." Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations.
