«Words mean one thing to one person, another thing to another person; they are unintelligible to one generation, plain as a pikestaff to the next. And it is because of this complexity that they survive. Perhaps then one reason why we have no great poet, novelist or critic writing to-day is that we refuse words their liberty. We pin them down to one meaning, their useful meaning, the meaning which makes us catch the train, the meaning which makes us pass the examination. And when words are pinned down they fold their wings and die. Finally, and most emphatically, words, like ourselves, in order to live at their ease, need privacy. Undoubtedly they like us to think, and they like us to feel, before we use them; but they also like us to pause; to become unconscious. Our unconsciousness is their privacy; our darkness is their light... That pause was made, that veil of darkness was dropped, to tempt words to come together in one of those swift marriages which are perfect images and create everlasting beauty. But no — nothing of that sort is going to happen to-night. The little wretches are out of temper; disobliging; disobedient; dumb. What is it that they are muttering? ‘Time’s up! Silence!’»

“Se risentimento ha per causa / questa lunga campagna militare / per forza v’aggiungo ch’era / nel mio sogno una intera / visione del vostro dipinto / non di difficoltà di rosa / ma come se fosse, nell’esistenza / di qui, l’alloro che morale / m’aveva ingiunto a dirmi / ch’io sono tra i grandi e / nascondo perfino il piccolo / di tra i miei sospetti ora / stretti ora larghi, sulle / vostre mancerie d’una volta / per scherzo ci sputavate sopra / qual è la guerra a cui m’ingaggiaste?”

“Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
