As to whether language is the trace of the imperfection of the world, no story better demonstrates this than John’s. Up until the age of 16, John, a happy and handsome youth, gifted in every sense, had never spoken. He had never uttered a single word until the day when, suddenly, at tea-time, he said: “I would like a little sugar.” His ecstatic mother cried out: “But, John, you speak! Why didn’t you ever say anything?” And John replied, “Until now, everything was perfect.”
Jean Baudrillard.
