Have you got any Heideggerian poems memorised? I always liked those.
Helmut, silent.
How about you – any Bataillean poems that you know by heart?
Shaking my head.
I’d settle for a psalm. Recite a good psalm, Io.
I’ve always thought of you as an emotional support Heideggerian.
Heidegger was the equivalent of a Geordie, Livia told us. He had a strong regional accent. Wore regional clothes. Lederhosen, in his case. Used to yodel on the weekend with Gadamer. Solidly lower middle class. One of the reasons he became a nazi.
