This complicated and uncommon scheme -the use of a single word that is grammatically and idiomatically compatible with two other words that it modifies or governs- provides readers with a double logic: suspended between «two divergent codes», the Greek romance text becomes «a delirious seam edging incompatible systems of order which will never manage to address each other face to face».
