I Am Not Finishing the Run Around St. Vitus’ Cathedral

One can never, theoretically, finish up while running around a circle. If we divide a circle into two halves and begin running around one of them and continue dividing the consequent halves into halves infinitely we cannot ever run these proliferating “halves” down. I decided to experience such “unaccomplished

run-around.” Since this kind of “un-accomplishment” is no ordinary matter, I had to find an object worthy the occasion. I chose St. Vitus’ Cathedral in Prague. This building does not necessarily represent “eternity,” but 1,000 years are, under the circumstances, nothing to sneeze at. I did not finish circling it; I fell 14 centimeters short.
