Examples

“Or, as the atheists say⟳: 'It's just there, a given, brute fact.' Well, is that what we are saying? No, we say⟳, because though 'not out of' anything, still, it is made. And there, in that dark, opaque thought which is not a thought, in that sense⟳ of the 'madeness' of things which is beyond the grasp of all sense⟳, a thought beyond thought which yet penetrates all our thought and experience⟳ of the world with a glimpse of its mystery, of its reality and truth lying beyond both it and beyond us, is the first, primitive, opaque awareness of a meaning we can attach to the name⟳ which is not a name⟳, 'God', that name⟳ which Moses sought and was given, which named the face⟳ which Moses begged to see⟳ and was denied the sight of, because it was wrapped in a cloud, 'for no one may see⟳ my face⟳ and live⟳'.”

“As both a scholar of the novel and a practitioner, Thirlwell revels in the artificiality of text and language, the sheer madeness of books, and part of the pleasure of reading him is to see⟳ him take⟳ pleasure in the process⟳ of making.”
