“Writing is eternal, For therein the dead heart liveth, the clay-cold tongue is eloquent, And the quick eye of the reader is cleared by the reed of the scribe. As a fossil in the rock, or a coin in the mortar of a ruin, So the symbolled thoughts tell of a departed soul: The plastic hand hath its witness in a statue, and exactitude of vision in a picture, And so, the mind, that was among us, in its writings is embalmed.” WritingMindHeartSoulHandsEyeVisionRocksColdReaderEternalTongueRuinsWitnessPlasticCoinsFossilsClayStatuesEloquentReedsDepartedMortarScribesExactitudeDeparted Soul Author:F.

“The narrative image has more dimensions than the painted image - literature is more complex than painting. Initially, this complexity represents a disadvantage, because the reader has to concentrate much more than when they're looking at a canvas. It gives the author, on the other hand, the opportunity to feel like a creator: they can offer their readers a world in which there's room for everyone, as every reader has their own reading and vision.” WorldGivingFeelsHandsReadingLiteratureOpportunityRoomsVisionPaintingReaderOffersComplexesCreatorNarrativeComplexityDimensionsCanvasDisadvantages Author:Dumitru Tepeneag

“In the media, a reviewer has his personal vision but it's passed along to a million readers or whatever. He might think that this particular song sounds like Jo Blow.
