The Dessert of the Real (From The Wittgenstein Cookbook)

[faustus]

"Raisins may be the best part of a cake; but a bag of raisins is not better than a cake; and someone who is in a position to give us a bag full of raisins still can’t bake a cake with them, let alone do something better. ... A cake - that isn’t as it were: thinned-out raisins"


What we cannot speak of, we must Pavlova in silence.
