reader's writes

"The reader is the space on which all the quotations that make up a writing are inscribed without any of them being lost; a text's unity lies not in its origin but in its destination. Yet this destination cannot any longer be personal: the reader is without history, biography, psychology; he is simply that someone who holds together in a single field all the traces by which the written text is constituted."

if he wasn't so busy reading maybe the reader would be flattered, he senses a warm buzz of pleasure enter the hands after they have finished rewriting these words from the most esteemed champion of reader's writes Roland Barthes. still unable to experience the hands' pleasure directly the reader none the less understands that this sort of pleasure is why the hands continue to write.
