This article is a reading of the letter of Opperman's poem “Sondag van ‘n kind” (A child's Sunday) through different convolutions. Firstly I follow a few threads through Lacan's labyrinth. Then I tread Strydom's spoor through the poem, also seeking out the sunken intertext, viz. the Bible. The letter leads us on to Freud's family romance and Girard's mimetic desire and scape‐goating rituals, returning us eventually to Lacan's desire of the Other and the development and splitting of the subject
