[ _con un sorriso_ ]

...'ou la Chose meme', or the 'matter at hand'/fact of the
matter/[intent?],* or things that go bump in a Hegelian Night; save
Schelling's cows. They've already been stolen. Gravity being one, 'mise
a' question', un-utopian jouissance (there just ain't _any_ 'Other''s),
an/other; recondite play, albeit attentiveness to affliction, as
three-[in-One]; a "strange gravity" (see T.Wall, post of 3/2), which
suspicion acts as its 'strange attractor",  fo[ ]r. But there's more
without a doubt.  "Honesty" perhaps, just look at Hegel's mention of it
at #414, 248 in the _Phenomenology_., and picked up in Blanchot's
"literature is unquestionably illigitimate,..." (LRD). On and about Hegel
one still dances, to a  "stranger infinity", than the gravity found in
the playfulness of the 'grave', ( "_son lieu natal_",  t/here "see[ing]
rhythm's infinite space" as Blanchot's hand wrote about Hegel's buddy,
Holderlin. in _SL_, 273).  Is this  'center of gravity', beyond
animalism, Holderlin's abode? (see Reg 3/2). 
	
* - [note J. Royce's translation of this section from Hegel's
_Phenomenology_: "The Intellectual Animals and their Humbug; or the
Service of the Cause". Now there's some wit, and just what a good Dr.
would order for Hegel]: $ache!

Then there's Socha in Calkins. A breath of fresh air, really, finding its
way right into Hegel's "Das geistige Tierreich und der Betrug oder die
Sache Selbst" (The Spiritual Kingdom and Deceit, or the 'Matter in Hand'
Itself ; or Self-Conscious Individuals Associated as a Community of
Animals and the deception thence arising: the Real Fact; or   La regne
animal  de l'esprit et la tromperie ou la Chose meme, and then again,
there's J. Royce's, translation which suits this rising of a fresh MB
discourse best, even if thought to be, by some, a day late, like Kafka's
Messiah, while arriving right on time for Dr. Purcell's exasperation,
like a Swiss train, but never early enough for LAP's departure. Right
Colin?  T/here the departure: ~ eye, ~ hand, only ear. Ain't it grand! 
And, it is a litter-'a'-chir from the hands of  the [so(wn)] many,
reeling.  Words buzzed, like a "grazzie", of a doubled omega _in media
res_ giving "speranza"'s bone back  to-marrow. [laughter]. 

	 And the text has turned what has made us return. Rite-gaze
wrought-write. Is this too playfull Arthur? Or just "zelf interessant
zijn"? Would a "strange gravity" be the eye-that-blesses, instead of 'il
mal-Occhio' or Rite-gaze as seen in Hegel? Then pen and gaze may dance
even in being [throat clearing noises] deleted. Happy is the gesture that
embraces nothing, nevertheless, enough so to have felt the love of a text
that reads/reeds one. Like travelling to To-(er)R-onto something, and
having so much credit pulled from the *gravity* which belongs to itself,
laughing. The opposition hand-gaze should recall the para-docked (k)not
that the right hand has of the left hands doings, or else (Ian in Reg
3/3) we're back to J. Royce's translation of the Hegel section which
Blanchot walks into the night with. A night in Hegel's hall of mirror's
kept warm by the stove that darkens it from the soot that reflection
calls for, yet which also makes it impossible to there see what is
saught. An out and out "out-with", with Orpheus' eyes!? Wow! To do one
thing, and write another? There's the "Topo[ ]" of space's for ya'. Or is
it only when the Ca(t's) away?

{Luke, really, has your Pilate light gone off? (23:22-23), or at we at
Bethany already?
 Colin, really, take a look at _IC_, 35. Now there's out-sight. Also take
a look through Hegel's _Phenomenology_ C. AA. V. C a. 1.2.3, b.c. It's
incredible if you overlay what's been going on around here; yeh, yeh, me
included.}
