IV |
| Mandate piled on mandate, verdicts stacked high, dust-covered and time-worn, |
| signed by solicitors general and bound by library services. |
| A mounting legacy of heroic solutions and failed actions that can’t be |
| normalized and interpreted away -used to placate all the lives shamed and |
| denied. |
| Custom is the greatest of weavers: devoid of useful memory and locked in fixed |
| movements. |
| No small madness confusing symptoms with cause. |
| A convenience of definition. |
| Condemnation narrowed to a point. |
| Better to drill it in. |
| Benign as a bullet, meanings are inseparable from purposes. |
| We want to do something, and a definition is a means of doing it. |
| If we want certain results, than we must use certain definitions. |
| But no definition has any authority apart from a purpose… |
| I.A. |
| Richards, Interpretation in Teaching |
