There were others whose intellectuality ran to new card-mathematics in pirate bridge, gambling algebra. Kedzie was in a chaos of sincere convictions and even more sincere affectations.
In those three days she had stumbled on the secret he had kept for two years, and had instantly decided to cure him. She knew, in fact, the very man. He had done wonders with.

Cubism deals with bulk; Futurism deals with motion. The Cubist, by a kind of extension of Mr.
Futurism attempts systematically to combine the past and the future with the present, as if all the pictures in a cinematograph film were to be printed one over the other; to paint no instant but to represent the movement of time.
