How Great Thou Aren't

It seems to me that our pal Triztan Tzara was very close to an understanding of the eternal tao, when he was speaking of dada:

[from http://dept.english.upenn.edu/~jenglish/English104/tzara.html]

"Dada is a state of mind. That is why it transforms itself according to races and events. Dada applies itself to everything, and yet

it is nothing, it is the point where the yes and the no and all the opposites meet, not solemnly in the castles of human

philosophies, but very simply at street corners, like dogs and grasshoppers...

...Perhaps you will understand me better when I tell you that Dada is a virgin microbe that penetrates with the insistence of air into all the spaces that reason has not been able to fill with words or conventions."
