This work could be taken out of the (1927-1930) section of Georges Batailles visions of excess Sacrificial Mutilation and the Severed Ear of Vicencent Van Gogh, It is most admirable that in this way he both manifested a love that refused to take anything into account and in a way spat in the faces of all those who have accepted the elevated and official idea of life that is so well known. perhaps the practice of sacrifice has disappeared.. because it was not able to be sufficiently charged with this element of hate and disgust, without which it appears in our eyes as servitude. the monstrous ear sent in its envelope, however, abruptly leaves thematic circle where the rites of liberation stupidly aborted. It leaves along with the tongue of Anaxarchus of Abdera, bit off and spat bloody in the face of the tyrant Nicocreon, and the tongue of a zeno of Elea spat in the face of Demylos.. both of these philosophers having been subjected to atrocious tortures, the first crushed while still alive in mortar.
