One the best qualities of Greek is its ability to interrupt itself.

You would enjoy Kristeva on Céline and his use of parataxis. http://users.clas.ufl.edu/burt/touchyfeelingsmaliciousobjects/Kristevapowersofhorrorabjection.pdf …pic.twitter.com/kID1d88bVw

This is very interesting. The benefit of the inflected language is that it needn't break syntax in order to express parataxis. But I think Celine goes too far often. Holderlin's parataxis is interesting too.

Especially after his middle period, Céline becomes barely readable due to extreme parataxis, and a work like D'un château l'autre reads like a psychotic breakdown, as it has entirely relinquished the concept of sentence.
