“Language is not predicated on the existence of meaning, but is an unpredictable outcome of a world that produced first fire, then birds.”                      -Ludwig Wittgenstein

“Responsible for creating Creation, for the reading veiled within reading, the word hushed amid disclosed words, for the silence, finally, of a trace disfigured by a thousand traces, the silence of the Void at the heart of radiant Totality?”  -Edmond Jabes
