CRISIS

Poetry is the language of a state of crisis.

Stéphane Mallarmé




Past and future monopolize the poet’s sensory and intellectual faculties, detached from the immediate spectacle. These two philtres become utterly clear the moment one stops being hypnotized by the cloudy precipitate constituted by the world of today.”
