Starting over at the beginning, always the same
Perfection of beginnings, eternal return
Creation, destruction, eternal repetition
Made—unmade—remade

—Ad Reinhardt                  

 

I wound my schemes on my distaff
I would weave that mighty web by day
But then by night, by torchlight
I undid what I had done

—Penelope, The Odyssey
