“It is, in fact, no longer exactly a struggle between good and evil. It's a question of transparency.
Good is transparent: you can see through it.
Evil, by contrast, shows through: it is what you see when you see through.
Or alternatively, evil is the first hypothesis, the first supposition. Good is merely a transposition and a substitute product: the hypostasis of evil.
Good definitively scattered among the figures of evil.
Anamorphosis of good.
Evil definitively scattered among the figures of good.
Anamorphosis of evil.
It is only through the distorted, disseminated figures of evil that one can reconstitute, in perspective, the figure of good. It is only through the dispersed and falsely symmetrical figures of good that one can reconstitute the paradoxical figure of evil.
As it is only through the dispersion of the name of God in the labyrinth of the poem that you can sense the original figure running through it.”
