10 June 2008 - diatoms

The diatom is the world’s second-smallest cathedral (the Higgs boson is the smallest). That’s possible only because diatoms are not diatomic; I propose that instead we take them as diatomous and, with one telling blow, derive an oblique expression. Dress the cleavage fragments diaphanously and we display the whole diacronic dialectic of human dianoia.
