[D66] The Number and the Siren

[Nord]

uit: The Number and the Siren, a decipherment of Mallarmé 's Coup de 
dés. (Quentin Meillasoux, 2011 Urbanomic)


Rien / de la mémorable crise / n'aura  eu lieu que le lieu // excepté / 
à l'altitude / PEUT-ÊTRE // hors l´intérêt / quant à lui signalé / de 
feux / vers / ce doit être / Le Septentrion aussi Nord / UNE CONSTELLATION


Nothing will have proceeded from 'the crisis of free verse', except 
'perhaps' a Constellation carrying within itself an unprecedented number 
- */seven/* - destined to become the new North of modern poetry. (p.43)


The constellation of the Septentrion is thus the perfect symbol of the 
Beautiful, detached in all its resplendence on the ground of eternal 
Chance. It is also the reminder that the absence of God, his proven 
Nothingness, is the condition of the Beautiful, just as Night and the 
annihilation of solar light is the condition of stellar splendor - which 
is, from now on, our compass. (p. 46)
