What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.
Why do we use it?
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
Where does it come from?
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old.
INTERVIEWER
In the poem, does the ecstasy arise from self-annihilation?
CARSON
Yes. In the poem Sappho doesn’t use the word ecstasy, but she talks about herself standing outside herself and observing her own condition—which constitutes ecstasy, but which also constitutes what many mystics strive to achieve in canceling their selfhood so that they can be empty vessels for God.
