inspiration, the sublime, dreams, the descent, flow, the aftermath. so many themes that came up over tasp, all in the paragraph below:
Ayrs was now slumped a la a Pre-Raphaelite oil painting entitled Behold the Sated Muse Discards Her Puppet. Birdsong foamed in the hour-before-dawn garden. Thought about J.'s curves in bed, just a few yards away, even felt a dangerous throb of impatience for her. V.A. [Ayrs] was unsure of himself for once. "I dreamt of a ... nightmarish cafe, brilliantly lit, but underground, with no way out. I'd been dead a long, long time. The waitresses all had the same face. The food was soap, the only drink was cups of lather. The music in the cafe was" - he wagged an exhausted finger at the MS - "this."
- my current bible (i nearly wept when i read it.)
(adrian: korean and japanese syntax allow for the subject of a sentence to be ommitted, but we have myths all the same. i like your proposal, but i agree with matt, gramamr itself can't cause mythology to happen, rather they seem correlated in that both mythology and grammatical structures that demand a subject seem to answer the question of who. grammar merely gives form to the answer, and leaves a vacuum of further questions when the specific answer can't be found.
i feel like vico would have plenty to say about this. where are our new science readers?)
