'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 400


19.3
400. Here I am inclined to fight windmills, because I cannot yet say the thing I really want to say.



‘I cannot say what I really want to say’ –

then you have nothing to say –

and going on about it –

doesn’t change the fact –

or make it impressive
