Some Poems

Social criticism begins with grammar and the re-establishing of meanings.
We are condemned to kill time, thus we die bit by bit.
The North American system only wants to consider the positive aspects of reality. Men and women are subjected from childhood to an inexorable process of adaptation; certain principles, contained in brief formulas are endlessly repeated by the Press, the radio, the churches, and the schools, and by those kindly, sinister beings, the North American mothers and wives. A person imprisoned by these schemes is like a plant in a flowerpot too small for it: he cannot grow or mature.
Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly repeated in the mirrors of reason.
Art is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.
Man, even man debased by the neocapitalism and pseudosocialism of our time, is a marvelous being because he sometimes speaks. Language is the mark, the sign, not of his fall but of his original innocence. Through the Word we may regain the lost kingdom and recover powers we possessed in the far-distant past.
Wisdom lies neither in fixity nor in change, but in the dialectic between the two.
'Art' is an invention of aesthetics, which in turn is an invention of philosophers. What we call art is a game.
Love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
