Bees will not work except in darkness; Thought will not work except in Silence: neither will Virtue work except in Secrecy.
“It is by their syllables that words juxtapose in beauty, by these particles of sound as clearly as by the sense of the words which they compose. In any given instance, because there is a choice of words, the choice, if a man is in there, will be, spontaneously, the obedience of his ear to the syllables. The fineness, and the practice, lie here, at the minimum and source of speech.”
Charles Olson | “Projective Verse”
