“The immateriality of signs is alien to me, as it is to a race of peasants with whom I share an obsessional morality, a sluggishness, a stupid, ancestral belief in the real. In reality, I am one of them. The simulation hypothesis is merely a maximalist position. The seduction hypothesis is merely a formal abstraction. It is the phantom of seduction which obsesses me—as for the rest, I have never managed anything other than to let myself be seduced. And this is quite alright: all the rest is merely destructive, moral passion. The seducing monk dreams of Manichean tension between the sign and the real as the most sublime form of morality. Only from time to time, the earth-shattering, hypothetical union of the two… Even then, the beauty of the violent resolution eludes him. Faith and fury first attack the impossibility of believing; they attack signs. Annihilating the world as sign, in order to make it an object of belief.”

“Metaphor shakes our bearings on the question of how we stand in relation to 'objective reality', and a metaphor inside a metaphor unfixes those bearings altogether; it makes us lose our direction-fix on the position of what is 'out there' in 'reality' and the position of our own consciousness of that.”

Reality Metaphor Bearing

Author:Nowottny, Winifred

“...metaphor's power to collapse the wall between fact and fiction and between subject and object is brought into full play firstly by displaying the element of contriving, or of invention, which says of the contents of the poem, 'These contents are "framed".”

“For in metaphor Abstraction can give one kind of wind, Concretion another, and if one metaphor is complicated by another they can together untie the bag of all the other winds that toss us between reality and imagination.”
