Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe, RIP.
Commenting upon a fragment of Pindar, to which he gives the title, The Law, Hölderlin writes: 'The immediate...is impossible for both mortals and immortals...But rigorous mediateness is the law.' It is this law which founds and governs tragedy. It may be called the Law of finitude.

P. 43
