on certainty 377

377. But this passion is after all something very rare, and there is no trace of it when I

talk of this foot in the ordinary way.

‘when I talk of this foot in the ordinary way’ –

yes – when I say – ‘this is my foot’ –

without the rhetorical baggage of –

‘I know’ –

I talk without pretense –

without deception
