John, in the light of your examples, what is your take on the
following passage (p. 30)?
"Profanation in a world which no longer recognizes any positive meaning
in the sacred -- is this not more or less what we might call trangression?
In that zone which our culture affords for our gestures and speech,
transgression prescribes not only the sole manner of discovering the sacred
in its unmediated substance, but also a way of recomposing its empty form,
its absence, through which it becomes all the more scintillating."
