The negotiations with Blogger’s—and ultimately
Google’s—executive, senior executive, very senior executive, and very very
senior executive, which were alluded to in the sadoo’s 16.12.12 entry, were
intense and ferocious. Subterfuge, split
infinitives, hostile takeovers, dangling modifiers, book cooking, misplaced
metaphors: all was there ... culminating
in, not the divulging of how (or, naturally, why) five blogs mysteriously vanished
... no recompense, also naturally ... but only return. So the sadoo imminently posts a gargantuan
beefy stinky whopper of recovered blogs, in one (with bonus features to boot!),
and the dictionary of modern times continues to unfold itself, little hints and
tinsels, wobbles and crackers, peering from behind columns, in the forgotten
creases of old books, the winks of time, the bittersweet acceptance of the
soul’s meteorologies, clouds over England, revealing—tenuously, opaquely,
brief, oh briefly—relations of words and things, things and things, words and
words. And the eye falters, but saunters
on, like the grey mass in Blood Meridian’s epilogue, seeking the unseekable,
naming the unnameable, blood and time fogs on unseen horizons, the sleep of
language.
The sadoo continues to find his dictionary of modern times,
his humptydumptonian adaptation of Johnson’s work and its many increasingly
orthodox successors, a sufficiently flexible and expansive vessel to contain
the cacophonous deluge of sensations he hourly receives and is then compelled
to find (aesthetic) time in (historic) time to transform this deluge to what we
perhaps indulgently are calling definitions.
