"Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea, yeah
Lonely rivers sigh
'Wait for me, wait for me'
I'll be coming home, wait for me"

Epigraphy* Parable

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 1:34 pm

Epigraph by George Steiner

"There is an Hassidic parable which tells us that God created man
so that man might tell stories. This telling of  stories is, according
to Lévi-Strauss, the very condition of our being. The alternative
would be total inertia or the eclipse of reason. The mediative,
ordering capacity of myths, their ability to 'encode' — another
Lévi-Strauss word — to give coherent expression to reality, points
to a profound harmonic accord between the inner logic of the brain
and the structure of the external world."

— "Nostalgia for the Absolute," CBC Massey Lectures, Toronto, 1974

When all the others turn you away, they're around
It's my private pleasure, midnight fantasy
Someone to share my wildest dreams with me"
