"But the copula of terms is no less irritating than the copulation of bodies. And when I scream I AM THE SUN an integral erection results, because the verb to be is the vehicle of amorous frenzy." --Solar Anus - Georges Bataille

The Solar Anus (French: L'Anus solaire) is a short Surrealist text written by the French writer and philosopher Georges Bataille. It was written in 1927 and published in 1931.

The world is purely parodic
