from the bookshelf. (40/365)






flipping through an old philosophy textbook today... found my notes (poetry?) in the margins...

from the margins of pp 43-44:

no change. only in the way of seeing. like Dante claiming to be chosen. claiming revelation. 1. what is, is. 2. what is not, is not. 3. what is not, is. 4. nothing exists.
