The Modern Work Of Art, As I

Love Works Miracles In Stillness.

Once We Become Conscious Of A Feeling And Attempt To Make A Corresponding Form, We Are Engaged In An Activity Which, Far From Being Sincere, Is Prepared (as Any Artist If He Is Sincere Will Tell You) To Moderate Feelings To Fit The Form. The Artist's Feeling For Form Is Stronger Than A Formless Feeling.

In Order To Create It Is Necessary To Destroy; And The Agent Of Destruction In Society Is The Poet. I Believe That The Poet Is Necessarily An Anarchist, And That He Must Oppose All Organized Conceptions Of The State, Not Only Those Which We Inherit From The Past, But Equally Those Which Are Imposed On People In The Name Of The Future.

The Principle Of Equity First Came Into Evidence In Roman Jurisprudence And Was Derived By Analogy From The Physical Meaning Of The Word.

I Am Not Going To Claim That Modern Anarchism Has Any Direct Relation To Roman Jurisprudence; But I Do Claim That It Has Its Basis In The Laws Of Nature Rather Than In The State Of Nature.
