Subject: MB: Quid novi rabidus struis?


- ...before we enter Argos, and the royal palace, dragging three 
heads after us, [Blanchot/Sade/Seneca], or have these three instead 
(or whose?) waiting on covered platter - it would be a gesture sure to 
wet the appetite to cover the spread (VII - X), which awaits, and rides 
the gutter, showing the banquet-table ("..fores templi relaxa, festa 
patefiat domus."). 

	Yet as this titled subject quotes: "Quid novi rabidus struis?" 
Have I heard from the previous post ("iratus Atreus"), a direct 
communication with the reader that J., has set in place? If so, then "my 
friend" call me not brother, but rather grandfather Tantalus, who as 
ghost "hic bibit altum de rapido gurgite pulverem".....thus:

	"Quis inferorum sede ab infausta extrahit
	avido fugaces ore captantem cibos,
	quis male deorum Tantalo vivas domos
	ostendit iterum?".....................................and do
					             you feel that..
	"regione quidquid impia cessat loci
	complebo;.."................................................?

And so, from the wine of Holderlin, we arrive at the wine of the banquet 
table of Arteus. "Bottom's Up"! 
(And these "All concerned" to whom you call, 
are they here the Citizens of Mycenae?)

Tantali Umbra,
Lucio Angelo Privitello
