Subject: X-tra-verse-inks the "blissfulness of terror"...

...as in  Bataille's/Nietzsche's "_jeu_", the "open-ended play _where
occurrence exceeds the given_." (_ON_, VII, p. 151).  T/here, "..I'll
return you the toast, post-haste" as Rabelais has it in 'The Authors
Prologue', of  _Gargantua and Pantagruel_;  far enough "there", even with
"much wine", to have noticed both "marrow", like "pick[ing] a lock to
steal a bottle [ ]", or "bacon-pick[ing] with Friar Lubin - to seek "a
lid to fit his kettle" like Homer's little dream, O-vid(e)'d also from
_Metamorphoses_ to _Gospel_. 

 So, fellow-boozer, allow that "verses smack rather of wine than of oil"
- and t/here t/he(a)r(e) here-You('r) Hear Ye, Ozey I urge for nobility
to be addressed; yet who'z Ozey Ozey, here-You(r) Being in Question as
that most profound question, and t/here "turn yourself back into
question, into a speech that, before speaking, questions through the turn
of writing" blanching what "ought" to be Listed, but there turned
a-gain-St., "Keeping to Words" (_IC_ VI), and posed instead as silent-
"felt"  that insulation to-word Silenus/silen_ce_-felt, past poor
souls/sole(s) left dry from feeling Bacchic enthusiasm like dry Smelts.
Bang bang on your Pop-Proust-lined studies over there, listen hear/here
or forever lurk awaiting that "speech with[   ] concordance" (Blanchot,
_IC_ 64), w/here we in 'steed' speak to Hors-Es, that X-tra-verse-inking
of the "blissfulness of terror" which-cord-whirl-world-coeur-dances to
that 'mare' (even Jenn(et) dared) of  "...speech beyond hearing and to
which I must nonetheless respond." (_idem.,_ 65).  [laughter, while
Rumi-ing around].

Ari!, what fun, and close to Captain Beefheart's _Trout Mask Replica_, a
Nietzschian mask to boot  them smelts over there, oily fish, who closely
resembling the trouts; close, but no see-'gar'. [laughter]. 

On sacred ground now, [through such laughter], so quick to Bataille's
"The Sacred"   (_VE_),  a Lit--a--reeling from littoral tour to literally
(T)-ours through the weave of a reeling-sheer of "substantial reality"
into 'artistic invention' . So, to  ["one's children....one's work"], and
there, dear Ari, "steps slip[ping] [on-the-back-of-words] towards what
will have been a phantasm that passes without origin" turning an "ad" to
"ah" for those quick to call out: "jeremi(ad)/(ah)!". Ah ha! and the
smile drawn within or upon the parched-ment of  blissful terror: "[ :-)
-->---> ------]", like "chain of arrows" as Eliade notes of  "Ascension
Rites" in a widespread myth in Oceania connecting sky to earth. (see
_Patterns in Comparative Religion_ 103, and in Pettazzoni, _Folklore_,
vol xxxv, p. 151 ff.). 

Yes then, your _Z_. Catch your zzzz's as a swing away  from your
mood-(x)y(z) sneeze, a-tzu indeed, a knotted "you" since I 'here' you,
heard as "El momento de Ariana"  a ford-ing to Craw-['a']-ford such a
voice since rent from the "pure sky" "abyss of light" (awl Lu-lit-c-i(o))
to  you to la-ha-ha-bla that you've heard, hear of "la felicidad en al
momento oportunamente escogido y eternizado". Should I go to that
infamous
"mi ritrovai"?! Fuck, sure, (for some) and in Latin (just to
add-grave-ate):

"Sub medium vitae cursum, quam vivimus, atra
In sylva mihi contigit esse, et tramite recto
Incedenti prorsus aberravisse per illam;.." (_Inferno_, Cantus I, 1-3). 

...but for you Ari, noth'in but ---> l.o.v.e., in _agon_ and dance.

entre chien et loup dans
lalangue trespasses,
Lucio ---> {heart of Achilleus}---> Angelo Privitello
