ancient accounts of the desert describe a solitude that does not necessarily bring peace but rather proliferation: voices without a source, unforeseen spectacles, recollections that are not memories, temptations untethered from desire. the hermit does not struggle against the world so much as against the persistence of thought once there is no longer enough of the world to occupy it – images become audible.
