WORDS ABOUT WORDS
Poetry happens when short-circuits of sense occur between words, a sudden regeneration of the primeval myths. . . . Not one scrap of an idea of ours does not originate in myth, isn't transformed, mutilated, denatured mythology. The most fundamental function of the spirit is inventing fables, creating tales.
—Bruno Schulz, Polish writer, Letters and Drawings of Bruno Schulz, 1988
