All the world powers have built one day their monumental driveway, giving a perspectival shortcut to the infinity of empire. In Washington, the immense perspective from
Lincoln Memorial on Capitol Hill is made of museums that succeed one another, summarizing our entire Paleolithic universe in space. This gives the whole thing an air of science fiction, as if we were trying to put together here all the signs of adventure and the earth culture for the eyes of an alien.
