OK, here goes (though for me the closest book is a bit of a relative category, I am surrounded by them – this one is at the end of the shelf nearest me): p.123, 6th-8th sentences:

Yet his project is continuous with Heidegger’s in that he, too, wants to find words which get us “beyond” metaphysics – words which have force apart from us and display their own contingency.
Many of Derrida’s admirers, notably Rodolph Gasche, read his earlier work in this way. But Gasche begins his book by saying that he will not discuss Glas or Derrida’s work after The Truth in Painting, and that he puts aside “the delicate question of what is to be counted as more philosophical or more literarily playful”.

Very good questions. I have seen this done elsewhere as the 6th, 7th and 8th sentence which makes more sense, doesn’t it? I kind of cheated by choosing the poetry book when there was a pile of them next to me…

or do you mean the 6th, 7th and 8th *sentences* of prose to commence on p.123 of the relevant book?

um, do these Lines have to be lines of poetry, or what? Or do you want fragments of long sentences which will presumably begin and end before and after lines 6 and 8?

I love the reference that the book is the essential Waldorf cheat sheet! I have felt like that since the day I purchased it! I bet I used that book three times a week in teaching my children!

Forgive my jumping in, I was just browsing blogs and saw your post. Many blessings!
