Outsider: Mind (in the viewers) causes separation of the place
and white eyelids carried. It causes separation of one's inner
and the real place where it's occurring.

     The visible construction of landscape inseparable from action, seeing as apparent memories but occurring only as
speaking, is the 'viewer' observing only one's present mind.
     Landscape is event, as if one's action were seen outside one. (He walks into audience which is in darkness.) The viewer doesn't have the illusion of creating action. There isn't any illusion;--because action's being produced outside of its field which is the black ocean of unborn irises.
     (Meaning the stage:) We can see a movement as it occurs outside but it comes from only there. (From where it is, i.e. outside of the ocean.)
     It's still and isolated, slow by being alone in life.
