 Re: the art of Theatre

English is a beautiful language, that is why it is unfit for philosophy - for profundity, that is - it is too seductive. It lures the writer into clever phrases. It is the democratic, language par excellence - how is that for a contradiction in terms!

I love English - as a language for good life and popular art -
for philosophy I am forced towards the harsher toungues.

Yes, I say this from a kind of bitterness towards those who proclaim nobiity to be something whcih can be claimed by simply stating one is noble in an elaborate demonstration of erudicy and eloquence adding up to a reference to what others have said before - others in a different, harsher language - Latin, German, Russian, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew - Greek; how often do you hear an englishman quote another englishman outside of a theatrical context?

I challenge you to distillate any meaning form Suuts post besides 'the higher man is inexplicably difficult to define which frustrates me very much'
or 'Nietzsche was high but how high phooey! I can't put my finger on it'
or 'I am drilled to produce philosophical lexigon at a rate mcDonalds produces Hanburgers'
or 'I hate, therefore I am noble'
This last phrase is of course the primary mark of identification of the English Nietzschean - he tries to adapt his style to Nietzsche's attitude - something he sees as the essence of his nobility

If an Englishman would evere succeed in mastering the German language to such an extent as to touch the finesses of Nietzsche's tenderness, he would weep, weep, weep until there were no life left of him - in shame, and in the extruciating realization of absolute waste.

No Englishman will ever dance in the eternal hunt that is philosophy - have you ever heard an englisan prononce 'Champs Elysees'?

Oh man - I cr ack me up.
