Literature In The Written Sense Represents The Triumph Of Language Over Writing: The Subversion Of Writing For Purposes That Have Little Or Nothing To Do With Social And Economic Control.

Typographic Style Is Founded Not On Any One Technology Of Typesetting Or Printing, But On The Primitive Yet Subtle Craft Of Writing.

In A Badly Designed Book, The Letters Mill And Stand Like Starving Horses In A Field. In A Book Designed By Rote, They Sit Like Stale Bread And Mutton On The Page. In A Well-made Book, Where Designer, Compositor And Printer Have All Done Their Jobs, No Matter How Many Thousands Of Lines And Pages, The Letters Are Alive. They Dance In Their Seats. Sometimes They Rise And Dance In The Margins And Aisles.

When You Think Intensely And Beautifully, Something Happens. That Something Is Called Poetry. If You Think That Way And Speak At The Same Time, Poetry Gets In Your Mouth. If People Hear You, It Gets In Their Ears. If You Think That Way And Write At The Same Time, Then Poetry Gets Written. But Poetry Exists In Any Case. The Question Is Only: Are You Going To Take Part, And If So, How?

Nature, Or The World, Or Reality, Is What Mythology Is All About.
