Place: a flat; anything set on it takes on its flat, stable energy on at least one side, and is said to be in place, or place, or in a place, which, like the fish, plaice, flat. It is an active, but unmoving energy. Flat is a more portable form of this same energy, and can be found in the flattering of a bird’s wing, or the flatter of a tongue, that wafts sweet air like a fan. To stop such flattery, one need only put the speaker in their place.
