"the nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of caliban seeing his own face in the mirror"

A bit of Google-fu shows this to be a misquote of a line from Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

A thought-provoking sentiment - especially as I've been reading a lot lately about the Transcendentalists, Theosophists, and other 19th Century movements.

Why this is painted on a cinder block wall enclosing a border crossing in Tijuana...I have no idea.

marker at the border, Tijuana. Funny idea, these lines on the ground.
