             now i also take a dim view of comparisons and im always

surprised by the excellent art historians in my school because

theyre always comparing things       apparently all art historians are

  born with two slide projectors         and you might be surprised at

what can be compared by means of them           a wooden shoe and

a gothic cathedral for example though they dont do that        but

ive often wondered why not        because its possible to compare 

anything to anything else once theyre in the same place

From D. Antin’s  John Cage Uncaged is Still Cagey. (I’m thinking he means once art historians are in the same place. Not the objects. This book is a brilliant piece of work. Even by Antin standards.)
