ellipses

[Grant White]

You'll probably all hate me for this line on ellipsis but I've been 
reading Derrida lately and it's scrambling my sense of perspective a lot. 
But the above mentioned talks about ellipsis in writing and difference 
and uses the term to imply a concretion of meaning brought about meaning 
making repeated demands upon itself. Every repetition alters the ring (ie 
"......"), it "no longer has exactly the same centre, the origin has played."
Within the elliptic we struggle for an understanding, a meaning but the 
bloody thing keeps moving!
Just a thought.
