Today was the day that always comes before a test, the day on which the test questions are prepared. I will rattle them off down below, although not in a terribly oranized order.

Nietzche says "we are all walking dictionaries"
Lull: motion, no images, non-corporeal, ladder, tree
The triangle is to the boxes as the literate is to the oral
mis en abyme translates to "into the abyss"
Reformation happened because of the printing press
The mandala relates to FW because its a squared circle
Democratic through alphabet?
Ong, page 142, quoting Rilke "song is existence"
Page 224 of Yates--description of Bruno
Solomon's 7 pillars of wisdom built into memory theatre by Camillo
Alphabet invented how many times? Once!
Triangle reached peak at the detective story
Ty and Robert both used their bodies as memory theatres
Yates: connection between Lull and kabala
Hypertext(layered language) used by Joyce and cyber space
Hebrew alphabet has no vowels
Yates pg. 203-- Bruno rushes out of the convent
George Herbert's Easterwings
Ong pg. 126-- Tristram Shandy portrays silence with blank space.


I'm thinking that's most everything. We'll see when the test time comes.
