Classic Citroen.

We must not forget that an object is the best messenger of a world above
that of nature: one can easily see in an object at once a perfection and an
absence of origin, a closure and a brilliance, a transformation of life into
matter (matter is much more magical than life), and in a word a silence
which belongs to the realm of fairy-tales.

— Roland Barthes, Mythologies, 1957.
