yes, yep - i remember way back when i first started looking into the
theories of 'deconstruction,' Derrida, all that; and the first thing i
found myself doing was scrutinizing the vocabulary of the academic
tradition. re-search - look again. it all speaks to history, n'est pas?

ah yes but if we learn from history, perhaps we can anticipate some of the
more predictable outcomes from our repetitions.

"Waves of hands, hesitations at street corners, someone dropping a
cigarette in a gutter - all are stories. But which is the true story? That
I do not know. Hence I keep my phrases hung like clothes in a cupboard,
waiting for someone to wear them. Thus waiting, thus speculating, making
this note and then another, I do not cling to life."
Virginia Woolf, The Waves, 1931.
(...life clings to me...)
