TOO LATE [fr. trop tard]

Too Late is the result of a regretted “Rather Not”.
Too Late is not the result of any action, but of a regretted indifference, of a regretted “Rather Not” which have turned into an “Ought to”.
The philosophical figure of the unregretted “Rather Not” is Bartleby, the Scrivener, he who could write but preferred rather not to.
