a labyrinth.' --Weil

Every heresy is at once a power struggle &
a quibble over words.

We seem not to be able to conceive of an
individuality which finds fulfillment in
solidarity, or a solidarity which does not

of mapping possible discourse. Without a
continuing dialog with the past however, it's
just etymology and dates.

First mistake: that words have a meaning.
Second mistake: that they don't.
