VICTOR VAN VRIESLAND (2)

Poetry is a vertical lightning strike, the novel is a horizontal, never-ending line.




Just like a person is more than his skin, but wouldn't be without skin, a poem is more than its form, while it nevertheless only became a poem in and through its form, and independant on it.
