...and, from a Picabian painting (1948), I voice:  "Viens avec moi
la'-bas" - for/four dotting a space of writing well wrought [la-,(
_la'-bas_) -nguaged], a  'cadeau nuptial' of spaces and places, a 'cadeau
de son corps',.....C'est un joli cadeau!  And where are Zarathustra's
animals who spoke: "to those who think as we do, all things themselves
are dancing: they come and offer their hands and laugh and flee --and
come back.", reading _before_ w/here Bataille in _ON, 20, lifts "The
Convalescent";  the lifting of risking a fall, a jump rather between "the
smallest cleft [which] is the hardest to bridge." (_Z_, 3, 13, 2). 

Sing then to the cleft of the palate/palette/pallet/pallette, the first
not foreign (the other three left to friends) as to a  'mute's bridle', 
(or Bruno's  'iron gag), ' which listened still through the piercing
fires on that day in 1600 at Piazza del Campo dei Fiori, in Rome as it
pierced through his palate,...and  (such _auto de fe_) speaks only as
blood, which like water, finds its own level, from the heights of the
spike in Giordano's mouth, and t/here a quill may be dipped within.
'Combler de cadeaux'? 20/20 vision then, _ON_ even, thus back to _Thus
Spoke Zarathustra_, or '_la'-bas_", which (accorded to Levinas' lyre) is
still not fleeing away from worldliness, and thus _not_ a betrayal of
"trans-ascendence". (see _TI_ 5/35). Is this your Williams weave to
"'co-inhabitants' of dreams", petit cadeau? Moore dreams?

Crisis-thought preciptates the jump between the "smallest cleft"
"Not-Yet" spoken (to apply a Bloch to what in Ernst), is 
trace(d)/_Spur_) over by  Benjamin's, ( _GS_, I.2.659, see, _Charles
Baudelaire: A Lyric Poet in the Era of High Capitalism_), "Do not, oh, do
not show your face" (from Brecht's "Verwisch die Spuren!"),  handing it
over on both  both cheeks to Levinas'  "Le visage est defait..." (in
_Collected Philosophical Papers_, 65). Is such a turning,  the gait of
Chuang Tzu's strophe in worldliness? Is that his hestitation beyond the
palate cleft $-wording  the infinite? Palate-laceratedness? Check out
"Imputed Words" in _The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu_. And what of Chuang
Tzu  "_chih ming_"(obeying fate), and Nietzsche's _amor fati_? Where the
cleft, where the palate, and where the blood handed down from the
piercing spike?

The Wheelwright's question to Duke Huan, and his practice, beyond the
"handed down". (See, _The Complete Works of Chuang Tzu_, "The Way of
Heaven", 152). Or is this too Mo-ist or Confucian-ing? Need some
"community words"? (_idem_, p. 288-293). I'll stop t/here,...by the Way.

[...you have "perched [yourself] atop a common nothingness." (_ON_ 21)].
Now, lacerate and suspend -- ecce "sacrifice"... ;-). [Hey, Ari, what
gives?].
