Dereliction

For our sixth Dogma presentation, W. writes two quotations on the blackboard, and we sit in silence. Man must be torn open again and again by the plowshare of suffering, he writes. Death is not overcome by not dying, but by our loving beyond death.

For our seventh, W. contents himself with a single quotation: the words Sorel was supposed to have said on his deathbed: We have destroyed the validity of all words. Nothing remains but violence. For the eighth, but a single word is necessary, projected onto the wall behind us: dereliction.
