Contents:

Quasi things come and go and we cannot wonder where they've been (starting from the wind)

Quasi-things assault and resist us: feelings as atmospheres

Quasi things are felt (though not localized): the isles of the felt-body

Quasi-things are proofs of existence: pain as the genesis of the subject

Quasi-things affect us (also indirectly): vicarious shame

Quasi-things communicate with us: from the gaze to the portrait (and back)

Quasi-things are the more effective the vaguer they are: twilightness.
