Capitolo 68
for You doesn't have any power to raise out Your eye some airplane of Flatland;
but you can see at least that, as I rise in the Space, so my sections
becomes smaller. Now sees, I will rise; and the effect on Your eye
it will be that my Circle will become smaller and smaller up to him it decreases
to a point and it finally fades away.
There was not any "increase" that I could see; but he decreased and
it finally faded away. I made once the occhiolino or twice to assure me that

perceived by my silence that I had not succeeded together with to understand
him. And indeed I was tilting now to the belief that he has to be
any Circle to everybody but some extremely intelligent juggler; otherwise that
the histories of the old wives were true, and that after the there everything was this way
