Wings Are A Constraint That Makes It

Typography Is The Craft Of Endowing Human Language With A Durable Visual Form.

Literature In The Written Sense Represents The Triumph Of Language Over Writing: The Subversion Of Writing For Purposes That Have Little Or Nothing To Do With Social And Economic Control.

The Claim That Myth Is Always A Narrative Spin-off Of Ritual; The Claim That Myth Is The Projection Of Human Anxieties Onto A Cosmological Scrim; The Claim That Myths Are Invented To Give Sanction To Human Predilections And Institutions... These Are Ways Of Trivializing A Mode Of Thought That Has Served Humanity Well For A Very Long Time.

In A World Rife With Unsolicited Messages, Typography Must Often Draw Attention To Itself Before It Will Be Read. Yet In Order To Be Read, It Must Relinquish The Attention It Has Drawn. Typography With Anything To Say Therefore Aspires To A Kind Of Statuesque Transparency. It's Other Traditional Goal Is Durability: Not Immunity To Change, But A Clear Superiority To Fashion. Typography At Its Best Is A Visual Form Of Language Linking Timelessness And Time.

In The Native Literatures Of North America There Aren't Any Novels. Instead, The Major Genre Is Myth. And Myths Are Stories That Are Fundamentally About The World, Not About Human Individuals. A Myth Needn't Include Any Humans At All. If It Does Include Them, They're Usually Minor Characters - Imaginary Humans Sent Out Like Scouts To Report Back On What's Happening In The Mythworld, But Not Central Participants In The Action.
