Box Candle Sun
W.G. Sebald's _The Rings of Saturn_ / _Die Ringe des Saturn, eine Englische Wallfahrt_ suggests a liminal state:
"my consciousness began to dissolve at the edges [...]"
Earlier in the chapter, a stanza from the _Rubaiyat_ is cited:
"'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-Show /
Play'd in a Box where the Candle is the Sun /
Round which the Phantom Figures come and go"
