		Longinus celebrates that very connection, for to be in the presence of violence is to experience the exhilaration of genuinely originary representation--what Nietzsche would later identify as the Dionysian "intoxication" that had succumbed to the Apollonian principium individuationis.
		We must see this partial blindness to the implications of his own theory as itself a reflection of sacred ambivalence, which for Longinus is relocated from the aesthetic to the political realm.
		Longinus's is the paradigmatically anguished cry against the inevitability of this draining away of the sacred, and against a society that sacrifices the aura of centrality in the name of protection from mutual aggressiveness.

		In the digression on the merits of flawless mediocrity and flawed genius (ßß33-36), Longinus pairs representatives of mediocrity and genius, according to genre; as oratory's representatives he analyzes the style of Hypereides and Demosthenes.
		The results of this investigation show that Longinus is largely in step with other Greek ñ though not Roman ñ; critics of the imperial period.
		In the case of Hypereides, I suggest, Longinus constructs a description of the oratorís style that is prima facie laudatory, but on deeper analysis, subtly critical.

		Some pretend that Longinus never saw this passage, though he has actually quoted it; and that he never read Moses, though he has left so candid an acknowledgement of his merit.
		In his version of Genesis 1, light was made, and then the earth, which suggests the earth's crust is the raqia that was formed "in the midst of the waters" on the second day, enclosing the interior waters, and it rose on the third day, so that oceans and continents were formed.
