"Something runs among them, an exchange of glances like lines that connect one figure with another and draws arrows, stars, triangles, and other characters come on to the scene."

- Italo Calvino

I like how he illustrates the way people subtly reveal their emotions through their eyes upon looking at a certain someone. That person may not be the love of his life, or his truest kin but a stranger or maybe even himself (like a reflection)

Notice how we look at people from points to points & our line of vision & the path our sight takes us subconsciously creates shapes. Its interesting how the littlest of things we do in life are taking for granted yet this writer managed to capture its essence using simple visual representations.
