I'm looking forward to reading and absorbing, maybe gathering some food for thought, some art processing - first scan through, just my brain needs to be in a particular receptive mode to do so.
When I saw you describe le petit mort as little death from sleep, I questioned it because I had heard it related to the little death of orgasm and that's what I found again when I tested my memory by a search. Might be an interesting addition to your share in any case.
Interesting, le petit mort seems to be used for both sleep and orgasm. It's easier for me to understand the connection of death to sleep. With orgasm, perhaps it's death as a great release?
