Yes, a rectangle with a small portion of something which may be part of
a sign, but isn't a sign, so, I wonder exactly, when is a sign not a
sign? When it no longer signals anything, has been deprived of its
semantic content, and this stumps me, also, because I ask myself--is
that not yet another sort of a sign? A symbol of a sign's absence?
Jocular excursions, of course, but this reminds me of a short story by
Nabokov, "Signs and Symbols" (which the New Yorker editor who first
published it in 1948 decided to change to "Symbols and Signs." Jesus,
what's that a sign of when some high-brow editor tells a literary genius
to displace two words in a three-word title? Sign of the times?
