They are a vain device of the desire to bring things nearer as well as a help for spreading the range really: when a telescope is fixed on a gun it is good for hunting down the victim from a distance. Traditionally, it belongs to the man. It is a symbol of search, curiosity, activity, advance and efficiency. Those looking into the distance can also see the future as well as the distant shine of stars or the girl undressing in the house opposite. By all means, this attribute, as an out-of-fashion device , belongs to the man of the Modern Age, who is dissatisfied with his presence here. Its Environment is but the woman, the extension of feminity - a lot of Expectant Madonnas. Motionless silence guards their threefold womanliness; their existence as ex-lovers, present wives and future mothers. They are waiting in loneliness. Their present is the long line of intersection between past and future.

The others always travel or are about to leave for somewhere; ... while lam ... stay-at-home, motionless, always within call, expectant, in readiness and fixed to a place just as an abandoned suitcase in an out-of-the-way corner of a railway station. ... I as someone always present only show up against you, who are always absent. Historically it is always the Woman, who speaks about the absentee: the Woman stays at home, the Man hunts, travels about, the Woman is faithful (waits), the Man is guided by his instinct (sails, flirts). The Woman gives shape to absence, she elaborates its fiction as she has the time for it ..." 'Roland Barthes: Conversation-Fragments about Love. Budapest, Atlantisz, 1997. pp 29-30
