something very sensual about reading an ancient text that only survives through one manuscript. like we only have this one text because someone centuries ago copied it down for us, whether by choice or by commission. it's like reaching into the past and touching that person's hand or maybe kissing them on the mouth. with tongue.

Absolutely insane lines to just drop in the middle of an academic text btw. Feeling so normal about this.
