Work Description
1
A poet is an observer who comments.
6
Science is a direction towards the specific; art is a direction towards the individual. Science explains; art exemplifies.
13
Any observation occurs on three levels: object, perception of object, perception. These roughly correspond to what it is, what you think it is, what you think.
8
Time is an eternal present forming and re-forming experience in the paradox of change.
27
Civilization in any age is a movement from the automatic to the voluntary. Progress, on the other hand, is a refinement in technology.
40
I imagine three planes of existence: awareness, knowledge, music.
48
The universe is an idea we inhabit.
