Camera Work: A Photographic Quarterly (1914 (Heft 47))

es un “alto alii”—para los que quieren saber como se piensa, como se
desarrolla el pensamiento vertiginoso de los que pueden pensar hondo.
es tambien un “venite at meas” para todos los ninos—los ingenuos del
arte—que buscan lo que busca toda alma<j en donde estara la verdad?—
es un grito de “alerta” para el burgues que no teme a los que avanzan,
yun grito de “adelante” para los que tienen los pies sobre la tierra que
es dura y las frentes en las nubes que consuelan.
es un misterio—por eso el arte, que es el ldolo incomprendido, puede
estar alii guardado y expuesto.
dejo de ser la cifra inflexible que senala una casa; el numero de un
exposito, 6 de la cama de un hospital.
esta rehabilitado de ser cifra, porque en el mundo del arte—unico mundo
conocido hasta ahora—ya no es cifra sino symbolo.

is a “halt” for those who want to know how one thinks, how the vertiginous thought
of those who can think deeply is developed.
is also a “venite at meas” for all children—the ingenuous of art—who seek that
which every soul seeks: Where can Truth be found?
is a cry of “lookout” for the bourgeois who does not fear those who advance, and a cry
of “forward” for those who have their feet upon the earth which is hard, and their
foreheads in the clouds that console.

is a mystery; that is why art which is the ununderstood idol can there be kept and
exhibited.

291 is no longer the inflexible cipher which marks a house; the number of a foundling
or of a bed in a hospital.
291 is rehabilitated from being a cipher, because in the world of art—the only world
known up to the present—it is not now a cipher but a symbol.
