A Regret Understood By No One: The

Jealousy - That Jumble Of Secret Worship And Ostensible Aversion.

Just As Ecstasy Purifies You Of The Particular And The Contingent, Leaving Nothing Except Light And Darkness, So Insomnia Kills Off The Multiplicity And Diversity Of The World, Leaving You Prey To Your Private Obsessions.

Illusion Begets And Sustains The World; We Do Not Destroy One Without Destroying The Other. Which Is What I Do Every Day. An Apparently Ineffectual Operation, Since I Must Begin All Over Again The Next Day.

An Aphorism? Fire Without Flames. Understandable That No One Tries To Warm Himself At It.

Consciousness Is Nature's Nightmare.
