Eyes all colours, eyes filled red, eyes all colours, eyes filled pink, eyes all colours, eyes filled blue, eyes all colours, eyes filled black, eyes all colours, eyes filled green, eyes all colours, eye filled yellow, eyes all colours, eyes filled orange... Eyes all colours, eyes filled colours, eyes all colours, eyes filled colours eyes all colours... Where Sam Moore has the forest mood. Would he have changed air? [..] It is through a looking glass that Sam observes sporangia and other words containing colours. It is there that the contemplative slips into the adventure novel, stumbling over the syntax in his removable heels. S/he hurtles down metaphors and motors back mechanical scenarios by speculating on over-obvious coincidences. […] As Sam is a mobile and (un)fragmented character; and likeother essay writers, his complete works are distilled into excerpts while the story continues to grow. He aspires (to) everything: art, life, the art of living; That’s why the book starts with a vacuum cleaner and there is always wind in the poppies. –> Julie Portier The Tree that Hides the Forest is the ninth pamphlet that collects The Thoughts of Sam Moore, written between the summer of 2018 and February 2019 to which are added some thoughts and exchanges from the summer of 2016.
