[...] There was a cool change in our relationship the day before I left Point Roadknight. She had decided upon a path of solitude. She had the human expectation in inviting me down to the coast, hoping it might work out. The experiment didn’t turn out as either of us had hoped and expected. After a painful conversation and an awkward departure from Anglesea, I left feeling despondent, cursing myself as one with an inadequate idea of one’s self does when you feel pain. I punished myself for being seduced by her billets doux and my own wild and unrestrained imaginings, and for not talking about her recent past but choosing to believe I was making a clean break for S. to re-invent herself. Another letter I received later in the week confirmed the extent of the misunderstanding, extolling me to look life in the eye and to “be proud for fighting the toughest of competitors.” She would not be put on a pedestal.

[...] Satyr plays were a kind of pastoral play but like some other stories of shepherd boys – The Law’d is my shepherd; I shall not want – the chorus would be composed of wild satyrs with a weakness for wine and/or sex. Their leader [...]

Too much reading can do that.
In my personal case, ( Islam not christianity) realizing the disproportion between the wrath and kindness of god as portrayed in Quran started the chain reaction. Many years, and many texts later (From Derrida to Bible to Torah and even Marx), all I can come up with a line I read somewhere. Lord, if there is a lord, save my soul, if I have a soul.

Gotta like somebody who’ll flow so easily from Lacan to the Gospel of John to Hendrix back to Lacan….

Hey,

Thank you for your very interesting answer to the article about Blanchot/Bataille!
I will answer it another time, maybe with an own posting.
Anyways, the concept of “community” is very interesting to think about and even to reconsider, what it was, is, could be … if it’s good for a society or not, and, according to Blanchot, if it’s even possible. Bataille was in need of the idea of community. Lacan, who I think also was a friend of Bataille, also could be read as very pessimistic when it comes to this possibility of a real community (in his theory of desire). Adorno/Horkheimer are quoting a sentence of Nietzsches “The Gay Science” in their book “Dialectic of Enlightenment”: “Where are lieing my biggest dangers?” Nietzsche asked himself, “in compassion”. I think this quote is very near to Blanchots work and also very near to the idea of the “death wish” you mentioned in your posting.

thank you again for reading,
best regards!

Thanks for your kind and wise words, Muli.

Isaac is the future and I like that his name means “to laugh.” The laughter comes at a price (pain is an indication of the living) – Isaac (to laugh) ‘died’ to Abraham on the day God told him to sacrifice his son. The laughter, the future joy, was resurrected three days later – and now I see a new meaning.

Laughter overcomes death – lightness, spirited, elevated. I am reminded of a story by Balzac, Old Goriot, when Eugene’s cousin is heartbroken by the announcement of her lover’s betrothal on the day of her party, one of the biggest events on the social calender in the Paris society of nobles. She does not show any sign of weakness but enjoys the ball, smiles genuinely at all the guests the whole, long night and maintains her nobility.

I’ve not had the strength to realise the change brought on by this little death I’ve suffered. I’ve failed the challenges and acted ignobly. Past expectations weigh down upon me. It is a repitition of our whole relationship but this break is final and its hard to reconcile myself to the difference. I take strength from your words, Muli, and rejoyce that in the knowledge you give me, I renew my reason to laugh and to love, to write and keep company in my circle of fine friends.
