Subject: "Y/our an animal!": an Hegelian be-d(ead)time story...
Date: Sun, 08 Mar 1998 08:59:27 EST


...or ""In the days when animals could talk"": 

	single and determinant, or what throws a compass from a movement
it had memorized, there is Schelling's Night, and La Fontaine's animals.
Undergone as oblivion and theft to what's Vel-Comte as fear, while not
awl how(l)ever; oh, never who'll-ether-t(w)o consciousness'  being beyond
a page's limit, or canvas to how it's scratched. 

[ - Dream. 
- Fichtean autism as it is Boltraffian beautiful - all rolled into a
wreck of _Zweck_ (purpose).  
- G.W.F!, its be-d(ead)time.
- Ah! $/ache!. 
- Little F., I'm telling you a story...]

	There's no wider idea, no place-(or)_mente_ where _Tun_
(activity) may lift the ton of 'unemployed negativity', so(wn) there's
'nothing more to do', -just count  the bat-ting of an -eye, or dream of
that letter to X even. Your dream which rears back  on hors-flax, will be
fed to Mallarme's grinding wheel, batting back an I to what opens your
closing system's sictern. Dream of her too, since that life, sown
_desoeuvrer_ and open, lead your's to close, you little _Ding_ and
_$/ache_!  Welded, that's how you thought.
 
- Or refuse the dialectic still in _Contre-Attaque_, and one step further
and t/here 
(d)rea(m)/d  "Metamorphoses - 1. _Abyssinian Games_ [,] 2. _Out of the
Self_ [,] 3. _Wild Animals_ -" {_Encyclopaedia Acephalica_, 58-60}.  

	"There is in every man, an animal thus imprisoned, like a galley
slave, and there is a gate, and if we open the gate, the animal will rush
out like the slave finding his way to escape. The man falls dead, and the
beast acts as a beast, with no care for the poetic wonder of the dead
man. Thus man is seen as a prison of bureaucratic aspect.." {_EA_, 60}.

	"_negativity sans emploi_"! "[M]emories of [G.W.F's] childhood
[sur-face,] bring[ing] only fear and sadness" {Lovecraft in Moore [Sat, 7
Mar]}. A hatred which little Holderlin held closely, and took to his
tower of the poetry of mortality - this _impossible_; while you, in
'Actual Fact', and in "Honesty", and sent through the milling-"About",
wrought  "Reason as Lawgiver", and rode "Reason as Testing Laws" right
into Be-r-lin(us).  {see Hegel, _Phenomenology_, "Das geistige Tierreich
und der Betrug oder die Sache selbst", and "Die gesetzgeebende Vernuft",
and "Gesetzpruufende Vernunft".}  

- and "legendary processions [as G.W.F's head turns and tosses -
muttering Je-na, Je-na] ... pass above the moats of time, which suddenly
melt into the night." {Leiris, _Scratches_, 118}. 

- you ""ruled it all like music paper"", but you forsake the fable. You
saw yourself dead but wrote "before",... it. But "Le monde est vieux,
dit-on, je le crois; cependant / Il le faut amuser encore comme un
enfant." (The world is old I agree, to hold its attention one resorts as
with a child, to fascination). (La Fontaine, _Fables_, book VIII, fable
iv).

- that absence. Fa$CinAtions.
