Giambattista Vico
Vico __ father of the New Science __ the road that runs and re-runs the vico river as stated in the open-
ing lines of
Finnegans Wake ___ the divine _heroic , the aristocratic
and the democratic cycles of history
'the four rounds of history'
the 4 major sections of the Wake are divided
accordingly __
Vico and Bruno __ inspirers of Joyce
as perhaps Deleuze & Guattari and others __
fire and free us ___
the ricorso _ return turning and turning
in the widening gyre (Yeats)
cycles and grass
rhizome burrow
potatoes
crab grass
in the middle
in the midst of things
in medias res
__ Vico
when men heardsaw thunder it was a word
a clapping word resounded across the Sky
