I love such bombast prose makes me think of E.M. Cioran’s The temptation to Exist. It’s like you can hardly get further than one sentence at a time. Such far reaching, overarching statements that breech everyday sentiments.
Well I began reading this and found it fascinating, so much so that I realized after 3 1/2 pages I needed to store it and read it slowly and carefully. A really great choice. Thanks. >KB

Thank you – happy it intrigued

Dovetails with the argument in Spell of the Sensuous, and as far as I got through the reading, it is also a compelling argument. But i wonder if poetry (or that it is the way in which poetry can show language to be language) is a counter argument. Very thought provoking, thank you. Can’t wait to finish it.
