8. If I had the time, I would have liked to demonstrate that where the two au- thors of Confessions speak the language of the excuse, the one of the "inexcusable" (inexcusabilis), the other of "excusing himself," they inscribe their utterances in the thickness of an immense Christian, and first of all Paulinian, archive, in a palimpsest of quotations and quasi quotations, which, moreover, Augustine ex- hibits as such, notably in his borrowings from the Epistle to the Romans (I, ii, 20).

13. It would be necessary, of course, to mobilize other readings de Man under- took around the motifs of the materiality of inscription and effacement (cf. "Shelley Disfigured," where it is a question of the materiality of inscription; and "Auto- biography as Defacement," both in The Rhetoric of Romanticism).

20. When this lecture was delivered, I did not know, I confess, that Ortwin
de Graef had already pointed out what he calls in quotation marks "the 'mistake' in de Man's translation," or again "de Man's erratic anacoluthonic translation" ("Silence to Be Observed: A Trial for Paul de Man's Inexcusable Confessions," Yale Journal of Criticism 3: 2 [1990]: 214-15; also in Postmodern Studies 2 [1989]).
