“The human brain, once it is fully functioning, as in the making of a poem, is outside time and place and immune from sorrow.” (Cyril Connolly)

“Bullet time is a stylistic way of showing that you’re in a constructed reality, and that time and space are not the same as us today living our lives.” (John Gaeta)

I’ve written about the relevance of this effect to the experience of writing here. In an important sense, the writer is working in a constructed reality, outside of space and time.
