	Or do debts to an animal we tend-rend to be, or should
[a]nim(bus)a(w)l wild (or gently) face in  fields left fallow, or met
hallowed, as that "Tragedy of Lost Space" [Moore, Tue, 10 Mar]; mark a
logos long-gone beyond-yearning its dialect-ic? I'd leave it to Ariosto
to tame that mention of "_learning_" which in your post, Edward, eeks
to-word what Serres sees. (M.Serres, _The Troubadour of Knowledge_, esp.,
pp. 90-101; 115-166). Yes, much, all tooo much, yet, "For months nothing
was lacking for the complete happiness of the shipwrecked." (op.,(possum)
cit., 127).  But now? What has happened? 

	Has Bataille's "Out of Self" been seen? For I pity those (and
here how many?, for there I've lost count), who "have not, at least once
in their lives, dreamt of turning into one or other of the nondescript
objects that surround then: a table, a chair, an animal, a treetrunk, a
sheet of paper ... They have no desire to get out of their skins, and
this peaceable contentment, untroubled by any curiosity, is a tangible
sign of the insupportable bumptiousness that is the most obvious
prerogative of the majority of manking." (_Encyclopaedia Acephalica_, p
.60). "RELAXATION" does not there dwell. Less as throat ripped out, or
stuffed, academia style, (just look next door). 

	"To remain at ease with oneself like wine in a wineskin, is an
attitude contrary to all passion, and consequently to everything that is
really worthwhile. No doubt that is of a nature to satisfy lovers of
stagnant bogs, but in no way those consumed by a higher ambition."
(Bataille etc.,  (_o(p.,)ossum cit.,_, 60). No, not even the querky
redeeming qualities of a * 'Debbie', that mon-key from "Lost in Space",
that sweetest-of-hearts, that which "trained" sustained our own illusion,
(and one which enabled an evening to pass into a Night), could help us
now. Maybe as Heidegger said, (hey, Ariosto), maybe as Heidegger said:
'Only [the] gods can save us now' . But Edward, could a thread here be
pulled from "refusal" to "adequation", from the "dark recesses of an
anterior space of thought, of  "pure memory" opening the doors of dusty
closets, bungalow houses and derelict factories" to " 'family' ", which
also may speak from Bataille's "The Age of Revolt" from _The Absence of
Myth_, esp. pp.163-175)? E pur si' "dialect-ic". Or does "RELAXATION" restraint? Or should I again mention Bataille to Char (_op.,(possum)
cit._, p. 96), where "...this idiotic silence which conceals anything
other than shame."? Shame on vous (minus Edward, Ariosto, and Don),
t/here becoming perfect 'means', with your I (K)/(c')ant's. Would Camus
do it for ya's?: "No one could claim in advance that a will towards
restraint could not, in going beyond empty provocation, 'separate the
movement of revolt from the contrary inclination to force the other to
bend to one's own will." (Bataille, _op.,(posum) cit.,_, p. 175). Yet,
Edward, isn't it in the essay "The Problem of Surrealism" (again in
Bataille _op.,(possum) cit., pp. 97-101) that this "RELAXATION" took wind
perhaps? Like a "nostalgia that went before" now that the same repeats
itself, again. Hey? Again, and to Ariosto I leave it, to unfold what
Serres says in "The Third Person: Fire" from _The Troubadour of
Knowledge_, pp. 162-166), for  "coros tejiendo estes, escucha un dia / mi
voz, por dulce, cuando no por mia." (Gongora,  _Polyphemus y Galatea_,
383-384).
