The mind is a charming end to evolution because it is a closed circuit---
we think, therefore we despair. A sidestep is a preoccupation with form--decadence.
Huysman has already made astonishingly clear the limit of decadence. For
decadence, is a matter-- a relatively simple matter-- of exhausting the
imagination, it is the rearrangement of finite elements.
It is the lateral movement of a jigsaw.
And madness? For me it is when all things become simultaneously clear and
meaningless [since meaning lies in distortion of one thing over others].
There is no sense of completion
as there is in decadence. I lie back: everything is coming to the surface.
Each element is revolving at different speeds around the same point. The
radius differs but the monotony is unbroken. Also, one can infer-- -and
this is the glory of this state--- that despite the infinite and limitless
intent of space charted by these ever expanding circles, the circling net
remains the same black line that holds a definite thickness and texture
but no inherent meaning.
