Eyes on the Text - Mind on the type
Eyes on the Text, Mind on the Type Saccade, the French word for jerk, is a quick movement of the eyes between points of fixation. The saccade and fixation are used to gather information and build a mental map of an environment.

The intellectual coward. Victor Serge knew the type: playing word games with philosophy
"I often feel like I’m being suffocated in my magnificent desert." So wrote Victor Serge to Dwight Macdonald of his exile in Mexico.
