About this line
In his second letter, Seneca is writing about the Roman habit of moving from city to city chasing something that can’t be found by moving. Was he describing a phone screen? Scatter your attention across everything and you are truly nowhere.
Why we carry this line
He was writing about Romans chasing something city to city. He might as well have described gypsies like me or my business partner and husband, who keep lists of places we’ve lived. Spread yourself across everything and you’re getting nowhere fast. That one stung, so I kept it.
The design
Set in Roman capitals, the way Latin was cut into stone. The small dots are interpuncts, the marks Roman stonecutters carved between words.
The Latin sits beneath the English: nusquam est qui ubique est.
