The Book of the Damned
·
Charles Fort
233
"An
unusual
phenomenon
was
witnessed
on
the
21st:
having
been
informed
that,
for
some
weeks
prior
to
date,
rain
had
been
falling
daily,
after
3
P.M.,
on
a
particular
spot,
near
two
trees,
corner
of
9th
and
D
streets,
I
visited
the
place,
and
saw
precipitation
in
the
form
of
rain
drops
at
4:47
and
4:55
P.M.,
while
the
sun
was
shining
brightly.
On
the
22nd,
I
again
visited
the
place,
and
from
4:05
to
4:25
P.M.,
a
light
shower
of
rain
fell
from
a
cloudless
sky....
Sometimes
the
precipitation
falls
over
an
area
of
half
an
acre,
but
always
appears
to
center
at
these
two
trees,
and
when
lightest
occurs
there
only."

We
see
conventionally.
It
is
not
only
that
we
think
and
act
and
speak
and
dress
alike,
because
of
our
surrender
to
social
attempt
at
Entity,
in
which
we
are
only
super-cellular.
We
see
what
it
is
"proper"
that
we
should
see.
It
is
orthodox
enough
to
say
that
a
horse
is
not
a
horse,
to
an
infant--any
more
than
is
an
orange
an
orange
to
the
unsophisticated.
It's
interesting
to
walk
along
a
street
sometimes
and
look
at
things
and
wonder
what
they'd
look
like,
if
we
hadn't
been
taught
to
see
horses
and
trees
and
houses
as
horses
and
trees
and
houses.
I
think
that
to
super-sight
they
are
local
stresses
merging
indistinguishably
into
one
another,
in
an
all-inclusive
nexus.
I
think
that
it
would
be
credible
enough
to
say
that
many
times
have
Monstrator
and
Elvera
and
Azuria
crossed
telescopic
fields
of
vision,
and
were
not
even
seen--because
it
wouldn't
be
proper
to
see
them;
it
wouldn't
be
respectable,
and
it
wouldn't
be
respectful:
it
would
be
insulting
to
old
bones
to
see
them:
it
would
bring
on
evil
influences
from
the
relics
of
St.
Isaac
to
see
them.
