The "sparagmos" is both beginning and end...
The Orphic use is a late development...
So, as Ingrid has suggested the fragmentary is an essential "just is" (that
is according to Nietzsche's ER)...

begginning :  in that it is an iteration of the Titanic shredding of
Dionysos... a destructive act(or recognition) that promotes the (r)evolution
[Zagreus - Iakchos], or phasing, or the piling on of strata... The stepping
stones of Dionysos's "tomb"...

end : it relation to Dionysian cult practices, the maenadic appropriation of
the "titanic" act occurs in the 2nd year of the trieteris...



A signal to begin again...

		fragment still implies that something is missing, when
indeed that is not the case.

	One is not missing anything. Even when you miss a person, you are
not fragmented thereby.what Was figure tothe ancient Greeks - as in the
Orphic limbs being scattered, becomes with Plato and the gang of logical
literalists who follow him a literal event.  A figure, as in a figure of
speech, is neither a logical or literal event. It is presents a mental and
physical state. That is what the ancient Greeks so exciting. Or the
middle age, they did not exist inside the foolish belief that the figure
was literal. Which  makes them, to this day, so attractive, so sexy. Blake
the poet seemed to inhabit this space...
