The divergence within truth elevates itself, It is elevated in quotation marks (the scruching maellinalinns o f a 1..}4 ,1,• rt or crane (Rare), its flight and clapping clawg). Nierische's writing is compelled to suspend truth hetween the tenter•oolcs of quotation ill:irks—and suspended there v.•ith truth is—all the rest, Nietzsche's writing is an inscription of the mirk. And such an ineription., even if we do not venture so kr As to ca/E it the fcrytinil,i itself, is indeed the feminine .oprntion. Because woman is (her own) writing, style must return to her_ In other words, it could Ix said that if style 'Were ki mon (much 05, the penis, according to Freud is the not mai prototype of fetishes .), then writing ...vc.iuld he a woman, But in tI X midst of al/ these ureapons frurn hand to hand, vmssing from one opponent to Pnother, ihc question still remains of what 1 am al:Knit here.

Their congruence (a notion which I oppose by convention to that of cr..olicrence), although ineluctably enigmatic, is just as rigorousl y necessary. Sucli, in any case, will / .)e the thesis of the present communication. Woman, inasmuch as truth, is scepticism and veiling dissimulati4m. This is what muse be conceivable. The CrXiiPLC of truih is as old as wcpinan herself: I fear that WOriicri who have grown old (atigeworJene Framer) are more sceptical in the 54erct recesses of their hearts than any of du: men: they believe in the superficiality of existence as in its essence, and all virtue and profoundity is to them only the disguising (Verbiiihmg) of this truth, n. the very .

truth. And in truth, they Coo ate men, those women feminists so delidoil by Nietzsche. Feminism is nothing hilt operation cif a wntnan who aspires to he like a man. And in order to resemble the masculine dogmatic philosopher this Noniart lays claim—just as much claim as he—to truth, science and objectivity in all their castrated delusions of virility. Feminism too seeks to castrate.. It wants a castrated woman. Gone the style. Feminism's lack of style is denounced by Niemelie: ix Is it not the worst of taste when woman sets about becoming scientific: (wissenscfraftlic. h) in that fashion?

Nieusche compares the sterility of a man cif this !arced to that of :an old maid. In spite of what it may appear, such a comparison is not in the least. contradirtnry, Nietzsche, as is ever .where evident in his texts, is a thinker big with thought.

which the editors have appended to their classification of these unpublished pieces is a monument to hermeneutic somnambulism, In blithest complacency their every word obscures so well a veritable beehive of critical questions that only the it scrutiny could p,iissihly recover there those (pest ions whicli preoccupy us bc.:re_ One day thoujh, we 4611 perhaps know the signifiant context of this umbrella. Perhaps the editors themselves already know. But if they do, they are not saying. According to their testimony they urolAd have withheld nothing in their selection and appointment of the manuscripts but those cif Nietzsche's fragments which correspond to what they judge to he an t% over-i,vrought wor k of his.' Nevertheless, by dint of dilip,ence and good fortune, the internal and external context of the ix 1 have forgotten my umbrella » could twn one clay be reconstructed. Such a factuiti possibility, however., does not alter the fact of 11)411 other possibility which is marked in the fragment's very structurc. (The cc..meept of fragment, however, since its fracturedness is itself an appeal to some totalizing. complement, is no longer sufficient here,) For it is always possible that the <4 I have forgotten my umbrella », detached as it is, not only from the milieu that produced it, but also from any intention or meaning on Nietzsche's part, should remain so, whole and intact, once Eind for all, without any other context, The meaning and the signature that appropriates it remain in principle inaccessible. That inaccessibility tlwaig,11 is not necessarily one of some hidden secret. It might just as easily be an inconsistency, or of no What if Nietzsche` himself significance at meant to say nothing, or a least not much 1 25

On the contrary, only when such a scene is possible can death and the posthumous be anticipated.. 'PIUS, as far as tragedy and parody go, the same holds for birth.

P.S. U. Let us not pretend to know what it is, this forgettinp,_ And if such is the case, is it for us to question the meaning of forgetting? or to bring the question of forgetting back to the question of being? Would the forgetting of a being (an umbrella, for example) be incommensurable with the forgetting of Being? for which it would all the more be a 1:121 1 imaxe? Indeej.

In such a movement then consists the essence of forgetting which is experienced in the way the Greeks experienced it. Finally, (that is, according to what is finally its essence), it is nothing negative. Inasmuch as it is a concealment, however, ii is no doubt a pr4.)tective concealment which safegu.ards the still Undisclosed. :Tn its current representation forgetting easily assumes the appearance of a sicnp]e lacuna, a lack, uncertainly.
