Dan Hays, Overgrown Path (2000)

[cryptomnesis]

The romanticism of 'art' -- of absolute or total art -- consists in hypostasizing the Infinite End (Poetry, Fragment, or Gesamtkunstwerk). With that, technique dissolves into the form of the 'genius.' To overcome romanticism is to think rigorously the in-finite, which is to say, its finite, plural, heterogenous constitution. Finitude is not the deprivation but the in-finite affirmation of what incessantly touches on its end: another sense of existence and, by the same token, another sense of 'technique.'

Jean-Luc Nancy, The Muses (1994)

The Devil is the border of possibility, and the witch has for his or her playground the whole of manifestation from the solar pole to the diabolic abyss of the otherworld.
