FIRST LINE: “Out of these landscapes, the distinctive point of view.”

LAST LINE:“Analogously, in the subject’s desire to experience mortality is issued the simultaneous desire to believe the content of that mortality and hence transcend it: to produce a representation with no referent–each sign as a postcard from the land of the dead, and on the other side, the longing mark that is the proper name.”
