On behalf of myself - and the student looking for van Eyck's wise words:
Thank you, all colleagues who tried to help!
Some of you wanted me to send the final result to the lists, so here goes.
My dear colleague Sylvia Harris in Cardiff (Wales) solved the problem:
This is the citation in their catalogue:
Eyck, Aldo van, 1918-
Title: [Greek catalogue].
Notes: Thoughts on building.
Publisher: Athens : [s.n.], 1983.
Description: 1 folded sheet.
And these are the lines:-
" Take off your shoes and walk along the beach through the ocean's last
thin sheet of water gliding
landwards and seawards. You feel reconciled in a way you would not feel if
there were a forced
dialogue between you and either one or the other of these great phenomena.
For here, in between land
and ocean-this in-between realm, something happens to you that is quite
different from the seaman's
alternating nostalgia. No landward yearning from the sea, no seaward
yearning from the land. No
yearning for the alternative-no escape from one to the other."
