"Wherefore let it hardly… be… thought that the prisoner… was at his best a onestone parable…
for… pathetically few… cared… to doubt… the canonicity of his existence as a tesseract."
— Finnegans Wake, page 100, abridged
"… we have forgotten that we were angels and painted ourselves into a corner
of resource extraction and commodification of ourselves."
— A discussion, in a draft of a paper (rtf) attributed to Josh Schultz,
of the poem "Diamond" by Attila Jozsef
Commodification of
the name Cullinane:
See the logos at
cullinane.com,
a design firm with
the motto
To adapt a phrase from
Finnegans Wake, the
"fourstone parable" below
is an attempt to
decommodify my name.
Fourstone Parable:
(See also yesterday's "Logos."
The "communicate" logo is taken from
an online library at Calvin College;
the "connect" logo is a commonly
available picture of a tesseract
(Coxeter, Regular Polytopes, p. 123),
and the other two logos
are more or less original.)
For a more elegant
four-diamond figure, see
Jung and the Imago Dei.
