Hey, I was just looking up some information on the Internationale Situationniste , and happened upon a graphic from their website that was in latng. Now, since the Internationale Situationniste put a rather strong emphasis on using aesthetics for cultural subversion, I found myself rather intrigued by the latin phrase upon the graphic. It is to my shame that I admit that I have taken latin courses in the past, though have been remiss in my studies, and am unable to figure out what, exactly, the Internationale Situationniste was attempting to say, beyond vague, heinously inaccurate conjectures on my part.
The phrase was: "in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni".
I thank you very kindly for any assistance that you may provide.
