How can one go through something and, simultaneously, have gone in the opposite direction, without going in a circle…we must have paced out a palindrome toward its middle….

When I once asked him why he so likes going on walks, he said: to disappear into the landscape.

I speak Satan's name, a cross appears before me floating freely in space, the cross grows larger with each utterance of Satan's name. I can't help but utter Satan's name, it's a compulsion, thus do l utter Satan's name and the cross gets bigger…the cross is getting closer and closer to me…and I enter into the cross. I hang from the cross...and I feel a kind of Schadenfreude, no....

Depending on the copy in question, Schattenfroh can smell and taste like various different things. Earthy Ike wild boar, spicy-sweet like Teltow turnips, putric Ike overripe Jacktruit. Not a single page of the copies is printed. They are the raw material for hours of solemn palate ceremonies.
So, what is it I am to eat? I eat Thomas Mann and Franz Kafka. Both take a long time to chew through.

But if I know nothing, then I know only the blank paper…Father dictated Jesus, the Holy Spirit caused him to become script, the virgin parchment upon which the dictate is written came through the open window, where it fell onto fertile ground. To beget means to write and script takes place only by dictation....
I say it here and now and thus shall the woman read it in the book that is called Schattenfroh.

The voice asks me to come nearer so that it might leaf through me. I come closer to the throne and my father flips through me…As I have eaten the book, says my father's voice…thus should I open my mouth, then it shall sound out. I open my mouth and I become a pillar and my father writes his name upon me and places a seal upon my brow….

That's an escape plan, I say. In order to master all the papers, my father plans to escape from the alphabet. The individual lines are corridors, with which he undermines letters….I mean, these must be seismographic lines, recordings from a seismograph, they give my father the bullet points outlining a possible uprising against him. Lines give points? Mateo asks. Of course, I say.

"...the eleventh secretary put the pudding into his mouth with great pleasure... this was written on his paper: 'And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up....'"

Revelation 10:10,11
And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey….And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

“And these words…shall be in thine heart…thou shalt teach them diligently…And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house…so that thy days and the days of thy children might be numerous within....”

Deuteronomy 11:19-21
And ye shall teach them your children...And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house…That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children....
