blind children playing hide and seek, 1912 (via julian kücklich)

“i remember that the verb to find [trouver] does not first of all mean ‘to find,’ in the sense of a practical or scientific result. to find is to turn, to take a turn about, to go around. to come up with a song is to turn a melodic movement, to make it turn. no idea here of a goal, still less of a stopping. to find is almost exactly the same word as to ’seek’ [chercher], which means to ‘take a turn around.’” (maurice blanchot, the infinite conversation)
