“Life was to be grasped only in metaphor, and metaphor could express itself only in metaphor; the chain of metaphor was endless and death alone was without metaphor, death to which this chain reached, as though death, even though lying outside it, were its last link, and as though all metaphors had been shaped simply for the sake of death, in order to grasp its lack of metaphor despite all.."

War machine,nomadic deterritorialization and what not!

“Scourge them with roses only,
be light as helium,
for always to one, or several, morning comes,

twelve mountains, twelve foreheads.
Vagabond Melancholy, also star-
eyed by way of you,
hears of it.”
 

My particularity submerging into the universality of Hegel. Cool!
