Abstract: The experience of tears runs through the oeuvre of Georges Bataille. In his last book The Tears of Eros, tears become the embodied sameness between eroticism and death, and lend the expression of passion into mourning. Tears in his first novel The Story of the Eye are the basic element of the narrative of desire and the fundamental impulsion to produce vision. Bataille’s sociological studies maintain that tears, together with laughter, reveal the sacred core of the social structure. As an important form of the unknowing, tears reflect the sovereign value of human being. It represents the effusion of being and the dimension of its exhibition toward the outside. Thus, tears become the limit of being, and the limit between thinking and writing. Bataille always writes at the limit of tears.
