For the sky does not at all signify a height which would merely be the inverse of depth. In opposition to the deep earth, air and sky describe a pure surface, and the signifying field of this surface. The solipsist sky has no depth.
It is a strange prejudice which sets a higher value on depth than on breadth, and which accepts superficial as meaning not of wide extent but of little depth...
Yet it seems to me that a feeling such as love is better measured, if it can be measured at all by the xetent of its surface than by the degree of its depth.
