Taqdim-o-takhir-o-mutawaffika-e-Isa


Finding, on Ebay, today, a match for a much missed gravy boat
I  phoned her at the Home, alas!, for the Old now so far
From an Ithaca of xenial Turkey & thimblefuls of Port
She asked- 'have they Christmas where you are?'

      mutawaffika means 'caused to die'. However, God causes Christ to die only to bring Him back to life. Thus, the occult order of causation (taqdim wa takhir) manifests in Time as semantic hyperbaton, in which case all language is either essentially non configurational or ontologically dysphoric.
