"The Sublime lies buried in things and concepts, always already bursting through the shimmmering screen of (mis)representations (the lying mirror) left, right and center. Therefore, topological thought is not for everyone, especially those too lame to stroll (saunter) through dark landscapes of bewilderment and becoming." --Dr. Prof. Ing. I. M. Avenarius, Bons Mots (London: Sub-Verso Press, 2005)

PRE-INDUSTRIAL-STRENGTH ESSAIS - "When Pascal [le génie français] said it wasn’t in Montaigne, but in himself, that he found all that he derived from the Essays [published in 1580], he was suggesting that they operated as a mirror to most readers; this is amply borne out by their later reception [...] More recently still, Montaigne has been hailed as the first recorder of the [so-called] modern self." Ian Maclean, "Words from One Long Sentence", TLS (February 11, 2005), p. 9 / Appropriating Pascal (HTML)Gavin Keeney / LANY (HTML)
