Le
problème du langage est au centre de toutes
les luttes pour l'abolition ou le

instantly lasting a thousand years.
Do you notice Villeharduoin noticing
Dandulo
metamorphosing into Macchiavelli?
No?
Do you notice Baltazar Gracián,

No?
Do you notice Rabelais big-gutted
with fine food and drink?
No?
Do you notice Villon?
No?
Do you notice De Sade not noticing De
Sade?
No?
But, my friend, everyone who is anyone
notices Duchamp
and his denial of Duchamp as a
mustache of milk.
No? Isn't it so?
“This is no postcard from the
edge,” reads Debord's postcard
in longhand,
“This is the edge that cuts.”
