[Nettime-bold] Genius 2000 is here so watch out: your five hundos are gone chiselers |
"Thus it is agreed by the great sages that the phoenix, when she
approaches her five-hundredth year, dies and then is born again; in
her lifetime she feeds neither on herbs nor grain, but only on tears
of frankincense and of balsam, and nard and myrrh are her last
winding-sheet. And as one that falls, not knowing how, by force of a
devil dragging him to the ground or by some vital obstruction that
blinds a man, and when he rises stares about him all bewildered with
the great anguish he has suffered, and sighs as he looks; such was
the sinner when he rose. Ah, the power of God, how stern it is,
pouring forth such strokes for vengeance!"
