"When the lance bearers return
Rainy Novembers,
A learned dog, a huge dog
Is making mysterious sums.
He counts, he counts, he counts again,
All sorrows are called absence
All sorrows bearing lances."
-- Armen Lubin, 1946 (translated by Andrew Weller for Michel de M’Uzan, "Permanent Disquiet")

“Be that as it may, this reference indicates why my own experience is not the same, my experience of what one can see, when one is young, on the beach, that is, where one cannot make a hole without water welling up in it. Well, to come out with it, this is an annoyance which also wells up in me faced with the crab’s sideways walk, ever ready to hide its intention to pinch your fingers. They’re very dexterous things, crabs. You can give one a pack to shuffle, which is nowhere near as hard as opening a mussel, something it does every day… well, even were there no more than two cards, it would still try to scramble them.”
-- Jacques Lacan, 1963 (Seminar X, “Anxiety," translated by A.R. Price)
