I was making for that city in the south of which it was said in our

village:

:'There you'll find queer folk! Just think, they never sleep!'

:'And why not?'

:'Because they never get tired.'

:'And why not?'

:'Because they are fools.'

:'Don't fools get tired?'

:'How could fools get tired!'

--Franz Kafka, Children On a Country Road

The districts of this city could correspond to the whole spectrum of diverse feelings that one encounters by chance in everyday life.

Bizarre Quarter -- Happy Quarter (specially reserved for habitation) -- Noble and Tragic Quarter (for good children) -- Historical Quarter (museums, schools) -- Useful Quarter (hospital, tool shops) --Sinister Quarter, etc. And an Astrolaire which would group plant species in accordance with the relations they manifest with the stellar rhythm, a planetary garden comparable to that which the astronomer Thomas wants to establish at Laaer Berg in Vienna. Indispensable for giving the inhabitants a consciousness of the cosmic. Perhaps also a Death Quarter, not for dying in but so as to have somewhere to live in peace.
