Why Glass and Diving? "By chance a friend of mine went to
see the windows of Chartres two days after having dived twenty seven fathoms
into the Mediterranean. The result was a complicated argument that ended with us
all standing in front of the windows of the Sainte-Chapelle. In all sincerity we
had to admit that no window compared with the blue of the Mediterranean
depths." Philippe Diole, The Undersea Adventure
(The Poetry of the Sea). 1953.
