LA FOLIE CIRCULAIRE: attraction, compulsion, repetition, and repulsion. The terrible, glorious truth of nature, washing over me, suffocating me. I am all and I am nothing. I am the truth, and I deny truth. I struggle to protect myself from the rotten fecundity that threatens to overcome me, yet I secretly desire the coming annihilation. A dreaded euphoria fills me, and I am bleeding. I am all and I am nothing.
