Don’t be silly. It’s ok. Expectations are at an all-time low. Please, continue. Symbolic identity structures are at stake!
Let’s try a different reading of this:
He said: “Signs are formed from language, but not the one you think you know.”
I realized I had to free myself from the images which in the past had announced to me the things I sought: only then would I succeed in understanding the language of Hypatia.
…And when my spirit wants no stimulus or nourishment save music, I know it is to be sought in the cemeteries: the musicians hide in the tombs; from grave to grave flute trills, harp chords answer one another.
…There is no language without deceit.
– Italo Calvino, Invisible Cities
Only a saint in his asceticism might find jouissance that is not linked to the big Other. But there are no gallery openings for a saint’s performance.
