What will 9/11/22 have to say I ask ya

Leon Bloy

History Is Like a Dream.]   

As history unfurls, it becomes    at once God’s secret,    and even what is most    authentic to the thinker’s mind is nothing more than    a probable opinion.    However documented a  historian may    be, he    knows well that he does not    see the fact    confronting him which    he has so painfully fished  up,  like a piece    of  flotsam    from the depths of darkness.    Its essential, divine form necessarily    escapes    him.    We have sure,    indisputable proof of    a great number of historic  events.  in clearly    determined periods; but these proofs, basically, have no other    consistency than the    absolute necessity of    these events and these periods.    This is    what was necessary,    and not something else.    Here is the    only    criterion. Jeanne d’Arc might    have been freed or ransomed by the    king—her    death was not    a necessary consequence of    her captivity,    it has been said.    True    enough, but that is not what    happened, because these vast injustices    were indispensable to the working out of an enormously mysterious plan which we cannot understand.

[Tears.]

There    is nothing else. Everything  is vain except  tears.    History  is  like a

dream    since    it is  built upon time,    which    is an illusion often painful, always uncapturable,    an illusion impossible    to make precise. Each of the    infinitesimal

particles the sum of which we    call duration hurtles    toward    the gulf of the    past

with lightning speed, and history is nothing    other than this swarm of lightning

flashes    recorded upon the pupils of    tortoises.
