Slot machines of visions', said Octavio Paz. Orman has combed through the voluminous diaries that Cornell kept throughout his life in search of the artist's own dreams. What she found are brief flashes of images and short, enigmatic narratives of illumination - the verbal equivalent of Cornell boxes.'
