“The new "ambiguity" means, in a way adjudged favorable to literary, poetic, intellectually and psychologically well-devised and praiseworthily executed linguistic performance, uncertainty of meaning, or difficulty for the interpreter in identifying just what the meaning in question is: it means the old meanings of ambiguity with a difference. It means uncertainty of meaning (of a word or combination of words) purposefully incorporated in a literary composition for the attainment of the utmost possible variety of meaning-play compressible within the verbal limits of the composition.” WayWellsMeanPlayDifferencesLimitsPerformancesDifficultyVarietyCombinationUncertaintyPoeticCompositionAmbiguityAttainmentIdentifyingInterpreter Author:Laura Riding
“The acceptance of ambiguity implies more than the commonplace understanding that some good things and some bad things happen to us. It means that we know that good and evil are inextricably intermixed in human affairs; that they contain, and sometimes embrace, their opposites; that success may involve failure of a different kind, and failure may be a kind of triumph.” KnowsHumansKindMayMeanDifferentSometimesHappensEvilUnderstandingAcceptanceFailureOppositesEmbraceGood ThingsAffairThings HappenTriumphGood And EvilBad ThingsDifferent KindsAmbiguityCommonplaceBad Things Happen Book:Clearing the ground Source: Clearing the ground
