Handke uses a great ancient line as epigraph for My Day in the Other Land: "
"I, the idiot [Gk for private person], setting sail on my own course for the common good.
---Pindar, Olympian, XIII, line 49
life by a thousand epiphanies
My Day in the Other Land
143 public space as a sort of fountain of youth
transformation by a thousand gentle moments / gentle acts / reassurances
145 my oracular pronouncements the idiot with the gentle gaze community-enhancing demonic jolts
