The original one? The answer quickly gives way to an infinite series with infinite permutations.<br /><br />But that doesn't mean every version is a version. A version may break and join other series. The infinite is not general; it is always specific, as in a differential equation: this limit to infinity, not an infinite limit.<br /><br />There should be a certain spinning, a certain vertigo, a certain delirious joy with repetition.Daniel Coffeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912050391869734890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7461948747659071092.post-31587529020927620312011-02-17T12:33:41.246-08:002011-02-17T12:33:41.246-08:00Everything you write about seems to remind me of b...Everything you write about seems to remind me of being a kid: my little sister used to sing the wrong words to Beatles songs. I'd say, "That's not how it goes." And she'd say, "I wasn't singing that song."<br /><br />Anyway. I follow you: there's no original. But then, how do we know there's even any thing? How do we know what Satisfaction even is? If I sing my own lyrics to the melody of Satisfaction, can I still call that a version of Satisfaction? How do we know that Satisfaction is a different song than A Day in the Life?<br /><br />I think you're going to say something about how they go such different ways, and have such different moods. And they do, but so do the different versions of Satisfaction. My head is spinning.Lindsay Meiselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17250501133788792507noreply@blogger.com
