An attitude

Does "an attitude" refer to "this expression of abandonment found in another??

"Another" refers to "another expression of abandonment"?

In "it is this moment of madness", "it" refers to what?

Context:
The thin thread which connects each city, it is this moment of madness perceived in an attitude, this expression of abandonment found in another; the share of darkness encounted at the corner of a street, a spoke of light seized at the foot of a building. The places change, loneliness remains intact, the interrogation without answer, the search in becoming. Then, it is necessary to go further or return, catch again a lost glance, try to capture a passing thought; then beyond, discover the strange when the city shows decorations of Finisterre. As we go along, we become this walker that the photographer can behold image after image..

This looks like 'literature' again, Jobb. The run-on clauses and fragmentary sentences are a grammarian's nightmare. 'Attitude' = the attitude of some denizen of the streets, evincing some sort of madness.

  • 'Another' = another street denizen, one who looks abandoned.
  • 'It' = the thin thread of 'moment' - 'expression' - 'share' - 'spoke' -(and maybe onward into the next 'sentence' to include) - 'loneliness' - 'interrogation' - 'search'.
