Ancient Rome in the Middle Ages: grandeur, antiquity,
textuality.
After all this time textuality is not yet a word
my computer will acknowledge. Fuck it acknowledges.
What you get if you were born
during papyrus embargo: strange doubts
assail one,
a deep sense of the fleeting nature of things.
So textual criticism: what is it?

So textual criticism: what is it?
Is it all about the future
or is it looking for a place to die?
I ask this, the implications of this,
and of that I in Virgil the Middle Ages used:
Virgil: poetry , texts, history.
Because weird things crop up.
Virgil Vergil really.
Orthographical questions turd up everywhere.

Not to mention error.
Adam Scrivein:
The faulty scribe is thematic
of textual transmission
debate between body and soul
contagion and spirit
But wait O genetrix Aeneadis
wait, nocturnal hippos of the night---
we’re not even to the Visigoths yet
not even to Ausonius
not even to the hour of night
that is the
silent entangler of beauty’s tresses!
