haha noooo i'm not going to finally go memorize chunks of st augustine's confessions book x just because i found out abt it though wolf 359 and have been vaguely meaning to since then nahhhh dunno what you're talking about,

#i will soar then beyond this power of my being and rise by degrees towards him who made me #and i enter the fields and spacious halls of memory where are stored countless treasures.... #wolf 359 #after meaning to for Literal years i'm finally reading more of it #i'm like halfway tgrough book x i think? i was literally just reading it today at work cause we were so dead dgjgdgjf #oh but for anyone wondering the particular passage hera recites is from book x chapter viii (book 10 chapter 8) #i'm using the outler translation because so far it seems to be the closest in phrasing to what was used in wolf 359 #~~also because i don't really like pucey's or w/e his name is fgjgdfkgdh~~ #thank god for public domain tho #means i don't have to track down a physical printing of the translation i can literally just. find it onlinr real easy #god i still have to memorize hera's monologue too #got hilbert's down aaaaages ago. never got around to hera's tho :/ even though hers is So Fucking Prettt #anyway #memorizing things #silvered words #book x is vv pretty too i adore the introspection and consideration of memory and its form and function #i suspect there was a lot of inspiration taken from it in w359's thesis wrt to memory and personhood #i definitely recommend checking it out; there's something Really Fucking Neat about finding clear sources of inspiration #for shows like that #god but w359 is a masterpiece #memoria w359
