“Within the midst of its linguistic obscurities, Joyce embeds a few readily recognizable words. By this act is he only playing with a "literary thing," or is he predicting that "time, universality, omnilinguality" is the means by which future human histories will be told?”

“This type⟳ of paradox is fundamental to the Buddhist episteme and informs all aspects of Buddhist discourse. There is the "tension between a buddha’s transcendence and immanence—his location within both nirvāṇa and saṃsāra," John D. Dunne writes, and "Śākyamuni Buddha's involvement in the world as a teacher and his detachment from the world as an awakened being." Buddha has "omnilinguality” even as "Buddha in se does not speak⟳," Paul J. Griffiths writes, and "is not implicated with language. Eckel considers such paradoxes, and specifically the implications of Buddha’s absence, as "points of incongruity that challenge⟳ the stability of conceptuality itself" yet lead⟳ to insight, knowledge, and "the ability to perceive and respond⟳ to the absence."”
