The Said (n.) the ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠apophansis, is more formal than the formal, the source of a subreption that limits thought to essence and synchrony, a tyranny exercised by the totality.

The Said (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠where, under cover of words, information is exchanged, pious wishes are put out, and responsibilities are fled.

The Said (n.) always ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠arrives irretrievably late after the saying — and the self-sufficient meanings bear a trace of that delay which they at once contest and efface.

The Said (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠the only place meaning can appear, yet the Saying is absorbed in it and abdicates before it — one may ask whether the call of the Unsaid subsists inside the Said.

The Said (n.) exacts ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its price when the saying is subordinated to it, for manifestation demands that everything be conveyed before us, be it at the price of a betrayal.
