Taking Wayne C. Booth's efforts to widen the definition of rhetoric, Augustine's remarks on ‘signs’ and ‘things’, Martin Heidegger's remarks on logos as points of departure, this article explores the rhetorical effects and implications of ordinary glass windows and their different but typical coverings, and how the double logos of windows alters and varies according to how windows are covered and how much or little is concealed by these coverings.
