Another "rosacean" quotation

Body
In "ADA", we find that Van/Voltemand´s geography was often bound to rosacean rooms and bodies ( and many buildings, such as PF's Wordsmith library are shaped as a circle):

"seen from above(.) the large island of the bed illumined from our left (Lucette's right) by a lamp burning with a murmuring incandescence on the west-side bedtable. The top sheet and quilt are tumbled at the footboardless south of the island where the newly landed eye starts on its northern trip, up the younger Miss Veen's pried-open legs (.)out of the dim east to the bright russet west( A, 419/20).
