I have read it before, but every time is now.

[Mark Kohut]

GR opening...
'there is nothing to compare it to now"...
what a fine way to indicate how the horror is always
immediate, always NOW.....  in one sentence is expressed that
any knowledge or memory of
what "has happened before" has been driven out.

"only great invisible crashing"....since this is a book for all time,
I for the first time
think of the unknown Trespassers and the unknown [invisible]
world-historical 'crashing"
from Against the Day.
