READIN

Jeremy's journal

What was venerated as style was nothing more than an imperfection or flaw that revealed the guilty hand.

🦋 Justificaciones del narrador mismo

...Why did I write? At the end of the day, the normal thing is to read. My accustomed answer was twofold: that firstly, my poetry consisted -- though I did not know this -- of attempts to invent a personality for myself. ...And furthermore, that it was based on an elementary confusion: I believed I wanted to be a poet, but essentially what I wanted to be was a poem.

-- Jaime Gil de Biedma
quoted in Bartleby y compañia

Mi intenta en decir «últimamente sobre nada» fuera igual que cuando yo decía antes, «escribir sobre escribir sobre»; la iteración se puede infinitamente reflejar: una reflexión de la realidad y de una realidad reflejado. Si los espejos el otro precisamente alinean, si la recurencia puede proceder sin fin, últimamente se produce el contrario exacto de la realidad descrita, así precisamente nada. (Lo anterior es válido en doble en relación a «hablar sobre escribir sobre...»)
