abjekt tala

Här ordsätter jag fragment av den översatta, avlyssnade, genomlevda och levrade rösten från platsen mellan, från det trinitäras terräng. Området mellan subjektets inhägnad och objektets bårhus.
Och återger terrängens (klyftans) litterära speglingar och vindlande spår.




She hungered for a different story - one to respell the world she knew

What we seek is love itself, revealed now and again in human form, but pushing us beyond our humanity into animal instict and god-like success. There is no love that does not pierce the hands and feet... Jeanette Winterson. Love, the deadly wound from which my life slowly bleeds, there I am preserved ...Birgitta Trotzig

Veriditas klorofyll




Vaknar med ordet veriditas huvudekande.
Googlar:The great 12th century mystic, Hildegard von Bingen, used the word Veriditas to describe her vision of the greening power of Nature, the divine force within all life...the "greening of the mind"..."Understanding in the soul is like the Veriditas of the branches and the leaves of the tree."Veriditas, contains within it two Latin words- "green" and "truth".

Aesop, Fables 531
"A man was journeying in the wilderness and he found Veritas/Aletheia (Truth) standing there all alone. He said to her, `Ancient lady, why do you dwell here in the wilderness, leaving the city behind?' From the great depths of her wisdom, Veritas replied, `Among the people of old, lies were found among only a few, but now they have spread throughout all of human society!"

Aesop, Fables 530
"Prometheus, that potter who gave shape to our new generation, decided one day to sculpt the form of Veritas using all his skill so that she would be able to regulate people's behaviour. As he was working, an unexpected summons from mighty Jupiter/ Zeus called him away. Prometheus left cunning Dolus/Trickery in charge of his workshop, Dolus had recently become one of the god's apprentices. Fired by ambition, Dolus used the time at his disposal to fashion with his sly fingers a figure of the same size and appearance as Veritas with identical features. When he had almost completed the piece, which was truly remarkable, he ran out of clay to use for her feet. The master returned, so Dolus quickly sat down in his seat, quaking with fear. Prometheus was amazed at the similarity of the two statues and wanted it to seem as if all the credit were due to his own skill. Therefore, he put both statues in the kiln and when they had been thoroughly baked, he infused them both with life: sacred Veritas walked with measured steps, while her unfinished twin stood stuck in her tracks. That forgery, that product of subterfuge, thus acquired the name of Mendacium (Falsehood) [Pseudologos], and I readily agree with people who say that she has no feet: every once in a while something that is false can start off successfully, but with time Veritas is sure to prevail."
