Blanchot's abyssal space of language

‘Take the trouble to listen to a single word: in that word, nothingness is struggling and toiling away, it digs tirelessly, doing its best to find a way out, nullifying what encloses it’ 


from Maurice Blanchot: ‘Literature and the Right to Death’.


I also strongly advise reading Blanchot's 'The Gaze of Orpheus' - only a few pages long.
