Subject: Comparing Badiou-Spinozan Void


 In the Chinese sky, Xu 'Void' is actually two stars,
alpha and beta Aquarius. In other systems, alpha
Aquarius is the Virgin:

A line of flight with which to compare Badiou's text
in ANGELAKI, the Void is already astronomically placed
in at least one system. The Eta-Aquarids Meteor Shower
occurs at its height near Beltane(May 1-5).

The genre of Chinese pacing poems(pu hsu tz'u __ __
__'pacing the void')offers an accompaniment to
Badiou's forthcoming text.

I ask the lodgers how the cosmic birth
Led to such diversity on earth.
They gladly stop a musical soiree,
And all my philosphical doubts allay.
(Wu Yun, Pu hsu tz'u, Canto IX)
