Abstract: What is it that one sees at night, in 1831, atop a high tower rising from the heart of Paris? Alfred de Vigny’s poetic answer to this is fascinating: ridges, angles, rims, summits, needles, lit fires, lightning, but also shadows, vague shapes, wide chasms… Fine lines and large ensembles are opposed and combined to make the city into a compass of titanic proportions, directing the onward march of a world that has lost its sense of direction, yet is going ever faster. This article attempts to shed some light into the fray.
