RLSK: "I am Sebastian, or Sebastian is I, or perhaps we both are someone whom neither of us knows"
Cp. Rimbaud: "Je est un autre"
TT: "Human life can be compared to a person dancing in a variety of forms around his own self [...]
Pale Fire: "How to keep sane in spiral types of space" ( line 559); "hence timelessness is bound to disarrange/Schedules of sentiment...."(lines 568/9)
"Maybe one finds le grand néant;maybe/ Again one spirals from the tuber's eye" (lines 618/9)
Cp: T.S.Eliot: Burnt Norton, no. 1 of 'Four Quartets'
[...]At the still point of the turning world. Neither flesh nor fleshless;
Neither from nor towards; at the still point, there the dance is,
But neither arrest nor movement. And do not call it fixity,
Where past and future are gathered. Neither movement from nor towards,
Neither ascent nor decline. Except for the point, the still point,
There would be no dance, and there is only the dance.
