From a review of the 2013 film "The Wolverine" —
"The rituals, culture and hierarchies of Japan
have intrigued and baffled the typical Westerner

Backstory: That phrase in this journal.
““The serpent’s eyes shine
As he wraps around the vine….”
– Don Henley
With Derrida, as usual, playing the role of
the serpent, see a philosophical meditation from
October 9, 2014, by a perceptive and thoughtful Eve
that includes the following passage:
“But, before this and first of all, there is
the resistance posed by the work itself,
the hard kernel formed when the intelligibility
of a universal ‘message’ is joined to the
unintelligible secret of a singularity.”
See as well the word “kernel” here.

From a French dictionary —

Tintement lent, sur une seule note,
d’une cloche d’église pour annoncer l’agonie, la mort ou les obsèques de quelqu’un. |
” I go, and it is done: the bell invites me.
Hear it not, Duncan, for it is a knell
That summons thee to heaven, or to hell. “
