From ecda49e0b20ad3bd52449356dccf2f8095ecfb70 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Case Duckworth Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2015 21:49:45 -0700 Subject: Flatten directory structure All content files (*.txt, *.html, *.river) are now in /. I did this to simplify the compilation step, and to make linking easier. I'm still thinking about whether I should move the contents of js/, img/, and lua/ into /, or into an 'assets' folder of some sort.

Later, \ +when I'm dead or far too famous for you, and \ +you're in school, reading my words because it is \ +required reading, I want you to remember this + +connection we've always had, this \ +[spider's thread][] hanging between you and me. \ +Which of us is the spider and which is \ +the fly still remains to be seen. To \ +eat, perchance to fly: all of that and \ +more. We can settle all of this later. + +Yes, it is you I'm thinking of in your later \ +time: you specifically, not another. This \ +is true for all $x$ such that $x > 0$ and \ +$x$ is a real person, though it doesn't bother me \ +to write to a fictional figure or to \ +[a figment][], maybe, of my imagination. This is + +what you are right now, anyway, [dear Reader][], is \ +it not? I'm talking about my now, of course, not later, \ +which is your now. Later will be my now too, \ +and maybe I'm ultimately writing to a future part of this \ +self: you could very well be me. \ +In fact, you probably are me, [some other version][], and + +I am you in the past, or what you could've been, and \ +at the same time, this isn't true. Everything is, \ +and nothing isn't. The difference between "you" and "me" \ +is in name only. Maybe you'll get this later, \ +[when you're older][], when I'm older, when all of this \ +is something we'll look fondly back to, + +because I do hope to meet you, although much later, \ +and I hope your feeling is the same. All this \ +talk on me and you and you and me we'll keep between us two. + +[electrons momentarily entwined]: treatise.html +[spider's thread]: last-passenger.html +[a figment]: epigraph.html +[some other version]: elegyforanalternateself.html +[when you're older]: found-typewriter-poem.html +[dear Reader]: real-writer.html -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
