At The Point When Continuity Was Interrupted

At The Point When Continuity Was Interrupted By The First Nuclear Explosion, It Would Have Been Too Easy To Recover The Formal Sediment Which Linked Us With An Age Of Poetic Decorum, Of A Preoccupation With Poetic Sounds.

Thus, The Poet's Word Is Beginning To Strike Forcefully Upon The Hearts Of All Men, While Absolute Men Of Letters Think That They Alone Live In The Real World.

Poetry Is The Revelation Of A Feeling That The Poet Believes To Be Interior And Personal But Which The Reader Recognizes As His Own.

From The Night, His Solitude, The Poet Finds Day And Starts A Diary That Is Lethal To The Inert. The Dark Landscape Yields A Dialogue.

In Opposition To This Detachment, He Finds An Image Of Man Which Contains Within Itself Man's Dreams, Man's Illness, Man's Redemption From The Misery Of Poverty - Poverty Which Can No Longer Be For Him A Sign Of The Acceptance Of Life.
