Water is a gift to the dead. The soul of the dead is parched with thirst for life and craves to drink the water of memory, but can only drink the water of oblivion. This is an Orphic conceit. Yet what matters is not being dead. This is another place where plumbing comes into things.

I want to stop now, but there are still one or two other small matters to relate. This is not a fairy story, or a confession, or a tract of redemption, resolution or sublimation, and I am happy to concede that what I think I understand is overcome with dispute as I soon as I put it into words. Words are like that. Pregnant, sly, slippery, undiminishing in their rereadings as they make their ritual voyage into memory.

decarnation це дуже хороша гра. поки більше не скажу нічого, і потім, може, теж не скажу, але скрінів точно занесу

у нас є бласфемус вдома!

Хай ти не був ні славним, ні могутнім —
не велетень, а тінь його чи тло, —
аби в прямій залежності з майбутнім
твоє минуле й нинішнє було.
