the delta (Δ) & the nabla (∇): so formed... it is more than just the star of david... for moses came first, behold: the pyramids of giza and mt. sinai... so unto the second geometry to complete the star: the nabla, a name derived from the instrument - harp. king david was famous for playing a harp and writing the psalms.

let's see what sort of people we are dealing with...
well, for starters,
  i was brought up to hold one, all and every
book as some sort divinity -
        or at least a divinity in the geometric
aspect - rectangular:
       akin to what tha nazis did to the *******:
i did to the star of david -
      i turned it:
               so what was once the inversion of
hierarchy & therefore power - Δ | ∇ -
   what is revealed? reading rug - and an open
book... twist the star, and you'll see it...
so from an early age i was taught to treat
all books as sacred -
   western slavs sometimes put flowers into
book, and wait, and wait, until
the flower is flatenned, and dried -
      call it what you like, the closest i've
come is a sacred form of mummification -
   floral mummification inside a book...
   but the english? i've seen it sometimes
     on the tube:
they don't have the decency to use
bookmarks -
                        for goodness' sake!
                      i sometimes used toilet paper!
what do they do?
   they fold the edge of page they're ended up
on...
        me? i have a simple bookmark,
given it's lodged between two pages
                          and i sometimes
can't remember where i ended,
   so i have ᚱ written on one side,
                                   and ᛚ on the other:
thank god for the *book depository
-
   every time i order a book from them,
   i get a bookmark.
   obviously i don't mean all - but i've seen more
folded edges than i have bookmarks -
pedantic, yes: but books require tender hands,
and... would top wear a white shirt
                     that has ironing creases on it?
so why would you read a book that
doesn't look pristine?
obviously there's a second-hand fetish for books...
who turn out to be a bit like prostitutes...
   but you know:
  with those kind of books, as with those
types of women: you can't bypass
                       the madonna-***** complex:
that's one thing i'm 100% for in freud.
                 protecting the decency of books -
is the foremost act of expressing
                          a stance for elevated humanity.
