"Il est indigne des grande coeurs de repandre le trouble qu'ils 
ressentment. But one must add that not to be afraid of the most unworthy 
may also be greatness of soul." (Twilight of the Idols, Skirmishes of an 
Untimely Man, 46)

Not what may-be said, the no-where of the dialogue of the dead, but when 
one spends to speak, the now-here (here, now) of a thrust of a 
pre-wording. This is the only ethical imperative (stepping ahead of 
moralists): Be before it's time. The rules fall from the great race to 
finish a final word (epitaph), never due, never do they dictate the 
already present. This is where meaning may be incepted into the world 
without already being-there.

"Rational thought is interpretation according to a scheme which we 
cannot escape." (The Will to Power, 522). Never has it enslaved what/who 
has not given in to a plan to escape. Then again, it is but "a" scheme, 
and "we" are trapped, not "I". Thus the interpretation may be permitted 
to re-main.

How-ever, once being called rational, a first gauntlet is thrown before 
the rule. The tried Truths (verb) in practice and one's words reforms 
a-round, a fugue of many voices flee back in the vicious circle, or is 
it virtuous. Does it matter which? Unsure? Then join the few Others in 
this orbit at the ends of Dante's Hell(O) where the uncommitted shall 
go. Aren't we they yet?

At these boundaries, angels are exchanged on Wittgenstein's ladder. At 
journey's end, a final word: void.
