“When you succeed not in destroying something but in obliterating its origins and its end, it disappears (the solution to the problem of the illusionist?). It is not, however, physically dead. It remains resplendent in a sort of state of grace which is that of disappearance. It inaugurates a second, pure and empty form of the event or person, which is the form of fate. What has disappeared has every chance of reappearing. For what dies is annihilated in linear time, but what disappears passes into the state of constellation. It becomes an event in a cycle which may bring it back many times (is this the secret of the Rose of Paracelsus?).”
