Like
declensions of angels into the gulf of heaven,
like
lightning bolts or like the rapidly repeated
falling
blows of Chance, cadences fell upon
cadences
and so (by chance), with clear and full
pronunciation,
with unstoppable force, like a fiery,
passionate
ejaculation, there gushed from the
lips
of the Greeks the words: consequence and
consequences.
Andreas
Embiricos, July 1960.
