“And there, sir, lies the entire problem, to have within oneself the inseparable reality and the material clarity of feeling, to have it in such a degree that the feeling cannot but express itself, to have a wealth of words and of formal constructions which can join in the dance, serve one's purpose—and at the very moment when the soul is about to organize its wealth, its discoveries, this revelation, at the unconscious moment when the thing is about to emanate, a higher and evil will attacks the soul like vitriol, attacks the word and image mass, attacks the mass of feeling and leaves me panting at the very door of life.” — Antonin Artaud
And there, sir, lies the entire problem,
to have within oneself the inseparable
reality and the material clarity of feeling, to have it in such a degree that
the feeling cannot but express itself, to
have a wealth of words and of formal
constructions which can join in the
dance, serve one's purpose—and at the
very moment when the soul is about to
organize its wealth, its discoveries, this
revelation, at the unconscious moment
when the thing is about to emanate, a
higher and evil will attacks the soul like
vitriol, attacks the word and image mass,
attacks the mass of feeling and leaves me
panting at the very door of life.
