Aristotle Says That Metaphor Causes The Mind

What Is An Adjective? Nouns Name The World. Verbs Activate The Names. Adjectives Come From Somewhere Else. The Word Adjective (epitheton In Greek) Is Itself An Adjective Meaning 'placed On Top', 'added', 'appended', 'foreign'. Adjectives Seem Fairly Innocent Additions, But Look Again. These Small Imported Mechanisms Are In Charge Of Attaching Everything In The World To Its Place In Particularity. They Are The Latches Of Being.

The Greek Language Seems Different Than Other Languages. I'm Not The Only Person To Think This. Usually, I Come Up With Some Kind Of Dopey Metaphor For Why It's Different. But It Seems, Somehow, More Original, More Like Being In The Morning Of Language.

Maybe I Could Have Been Good As A Drawer If I Had Done It As Much As I Did Writing, But It's More Scary To Draw. It's More Revealing. You Can't Disguise Yourself In Drawing.

A Man Moves Through Time. It Means Nothing Except That, Like A Harpoon, Once Thrown He Will Arrive.

Now Every Mortal Has Pain And Sweat Is Constant, But If There Is Anything Dearer Than Being Alive, It's Dark To Me. We Humans Seem Disastrously In Love With This Thing (whatever It Is) That Glitters On The Earth-- We Call It Life. We Know No Other. The Underworld's A Blank And All The Rest Just Fantasy.
