Again, interrupting, sorry, but: the difference is not some thing, it [is]
being; one cannot talk *about* the difference because that is to make it
another being amongst others; but one can display it in the very language;
but THAT necessarily appears as ambiguous (due to the normal expectation
that talking must necessarily be determined from what one is talking about,
that th focus and authoritative centre of speech be the topic. But the
difference can never be a topic.
