The bedrock of doubt is the total nothingness of death. Death is a leveler, not because everybody dies, but because nobody understands what death mea… - Northrop Frye

Metaphor is the language of immanence; metonymy of transcendence. (11C.21)

Jargon or gobbledygook, or what people who live in Washington or Ottawa call "federal prose," [is] the gabble of abstractions and vague words which avoids any simple or direct statement....Direct and simple language always has some force behind it, and the writers of gobbledygook don't want to be forceful; they want to be soothing and reassuring.

What’s transcendental in Blake is not the statically geometrical, but the sense of arrested energy: the wriggling vines & snakes, flames & the like...It’s an expression of the belief that every object is an event. (p. 14)
