Arteries

Hasn't he been shot by philosophy, garrotted by it?, W. says. Hasn't he been hung on the philosophical gallows?

Philosophy cut his carotid artery. Philosophy cut his radial artery. Philosophy cut his ulnar artery. Philosophy cut his femoral artery.

He's thrown himself in front of the philosophical train, W. says. He's lain out on the road, ready to be crushed by the philosophical juggernaut, W. says.
