The stellar furnaces and a universal grammar: Gamow, Hoyle, Husserl, Benoist

The course of understanding is not linear.

The success of chemistry comes very late in European science.

But the realization must be this: that in a cosmos of diffuse hydrogen as an endpoint of a highly structured evolution - there is simply no foothold for a reflexivity with regard to that structure.

In a cosmos where diverse heavy elements are projected by exploding stars, carbon can be viewed as a topic or oxygen as an adverb of great interest. H2O.  Herself, ardently, herself.

The eventual sentences will be in a double helix - short statements confirmed or suppressed by the murmering chorus - seemingly unstructured - that lies entwined with them but between them.  Not mere caesura.

And the seemingly random but inevitable mis-crossings and mutations (in the rain of stellar particles that penetrate the great magnetic shield, gift of a molten core) are not so unlike an unexpected turn of phrase that bears repeating.

The pause to breathe is there in each segment of the poem transmitted (with interruptions - some Schopenhauer correcting the sage in the presence of his audience.)
