"I caught him, with an unseen hook and an invisible line which is long enough to let him wander to the ends of the world, and still to bring him back with a twitch upon the thread."

I admit that I was told not to photograph this scene. I couldn't let it slip into my memory. It seemed that I had already lost it once before.

- Quote from: Chesterton, G. K. "The Queer Feet", published in The Collected Works of G. K. Chesterton, Ignatius Press, 2005: p. 84.

The quote, itself, is quoted in Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. Cordelia recites the quoted to express an opinion about God's influence in one's life.

Hard to tell if the subject of the image or myself is tethered by the line of sight.
