CARTE DE VISITE

8 Jan 2012

“‘What have you done?’ he said. ‘A voice - your brother’s blood - cries to me from the earth. And so it be a curse: the soil is embittered to you. Your brother’s blood sticks in its throat.’”
— Genesis 4:10-12 (“A Literary Bible: An Original Translation”)

Fasinating word choices, again.

“Embittered”:
working against. Alienated.

“Your brother’s blood sticks in its throat”:
the choking horror of what’s been done.
