'I think...at the edge, between where language fails and where it's at its most powerful.' A.S. Byatt.


'Of course if you step beyond words
you'll fall into the abyss

Between the idea and the word
there is more than we can understand

I was always looking for a word
that had to be spoken only once
or a word that had not been
spoken at all
I should have looked for ordinary words' Vladimir Holan


Caught within motions
Spera, primum mobile, the beyond, divide and pass beyond
Which sphere is within which – ambivalence!!
Exteriority folded within, a TURNing.
The line says of a boundary that we trip up, fall before, cannot get beyond, 
But in conceiving the line we are already past it
Logic of piu – n+1
The unity of the double
Flow beyond and a return back
Spiritual motion

In this Arc

'Using Kierkegaard in the process, and installing themselves in this arc between "the moment and eternity"; no longer just with "dialectical theology" and its tension between moment and eternity, but with so-called present 'eschatology'. This being so, revelation is taken all the more as awakening self-knowledge in its proper form, rather than as concealing within its covers some great goal of history and of the world; though qua Kierkegaard, it is true, this does take place in the topos, even if not in the darkness and unconstruable question of the Moment. Which, as such, precisely because of its utter closeness, its most immanent immanence, appears to be more than just human; and is in fact the Immediate in all its driving force, the Immediate which is not yet even mediated to itself, and which exists in everything. This unpassed Moment, beneath all else, contains in fact the secret of existence - or, rather, is that secret plain and simple. And for that reason its Hic et nunc is not only formative of individual Christians, but remains intact and undissipated in all existing being.' 

Ernst Bloch - Chapter 11: Discernment of Myths in Atheism in Christianity
