Thalia (in ancient Greek Θάλεια / Tháleia or Θάλια / Thália, "the joyous, the flourishing", from θάλλειν / thállein, to flourish, to be verdant) was the muse who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry. She was the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, the eighth-born of the nine Muses. She was portrayed as a young woman with a joyous air, crowned with ivy, wearing boots and holding a comic mask in her hand.

On Scripture: the paw of language licking the traversable
The sainthood of performance. The sin of performance. The need to use the language of Christianity to devise moral codes, the language or anthropomorphic personification of values, to restrain them with the codified formality of the word, language is script - ultimate sin, the ultimate giving over of the unique experience to the shared dialogue of singularity. The oneness of the word as it guides our emotions into place registering logic as an observable shared structure, the habit of rationality, the experience of truth. Language of the sensorial metaphors wrapping the feeling of justice to the exchange of language. The bodies weight or levity valuing the structure of good, evil, pleasure, pressure, self will, liturgical constraint.
