    Description:

    The ninth hour is the hour in which
    the sun possesses us and we abandon
    ourselves to its burning, blinding flame
    to think with a light so bright. At noon
    we come out of Plato’s cave and stare
    into the sun: the unknown gazing into
    the unknown. These writings do not
    owe anything to the philosophical sun,
    the good sun of Plato that erases all
    differences, the good sun of
    enlightened reason that is oblivious to
    the knowledge of the “madman.” They
    are writings born beyond the sun, on
    the “rotten” side of the sun,
    unprotected by the shadow of logic;
    writings come out of darkness, of the
    spiritual umbra of he who stares
    directly at the sun. And, more
    specifically, writings begotten out of
    the spiritual nigrescence of whom
    writes at the ninth hour, at high noon.
