“You are the fruit I am the knife. You are the dish I am the eater. Your eater will do you honor.”—
Le Gars, Marina Tsvetaeva, as quoted and translated by Judith Still in ‘Derrida and Other Animals: The Boundaries of the Human’
Original:
C’est toi le fruit,
C’est moi le couteau.
C’est toi le mets,
C’est moi le mangeur.
Ton mangeur te fera honneur.
