announcing a new series of books

     ". . . it erases the borders, slips through the hands, you
can barely hear it, but it teaches us the heart.  Filiation,
token of election confided as legacy, it can attach itself to any
word at all, to the thing, living or not, to the name of
herisson, for example . . ."

     --Derrida, "Che cos'e la poesia?" ("What Is Poetry?")

     "`Are _herisson_--_herissons_ messengers like eagles?'
`Like what, Rose-of-the-Alps?'  `Are _herissons_, I mean, mixed
up like eagles with stories out of Greek books?'  Now Doctor
Berne Blum was an odd sort of person.  Most people laughed when
you asked them questions . . . or said, `Little girls shouldn't
ask such things' . . . or pretended not to have heard, and talked
about something else or just went out and whispered (rather
loudly) behind closed doors, `Now what does one tell a child
about such matters?'  Doctor Berne Blum wasn't like any of these
people.  He said:  `Little Rose-of-the-Alps, that is a most
important question.'"

     --H.D., _The Hedgehog_
