Letting go, connecting

It is a pleasure to lift out a single sentence and savour it.

Alienation and mediation are conditions of agency.

From Susan Stewart "The Interdiction" Profession 89, Modern Language Association.

It is a sentence that so nicely captures the nature of the work of an engaged intellectual or a scholar. The words leave us. And we connect the words that have left others.

And so for day 195
