 "description": "Historical theses that the transmitted last line of Sappho 31 (πᾶν τολματόν, a verbal adjective with no doer) is a socket the reader fills, and that Peri Hypsous is a theory of transmissional inscription: sublimity as echo, chapter 44 as the circuit stopping, the bare θαυμάζεις passing the load to the reader. The same claims trace the socket through Catullus's reversed polarities, Augustine's withheld reply and the withheld-agent family joining Sappho to the Mosaic fiat, and one unbuilt test asks a model to rebuild the treatise from the poem and its operator alone.",
