True poetry is a function of awakening. It awakens us, but it must retain the memory of previous dreams.
Words, in their distant past, have the past of my reveries.
One must always maintain one's connection to the past and yet ceaselessly pull away from it. To remain in touch with the past requires a love of memory. To remain in touch with the past requires a constant imaginative effort.
We must listen to poets.
The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess it.
By following "the path of reverie"-a constantly downhill path-consciousness relaxes and wanders-and consequently becomes clouded. So it is never the right time, when one is dreaming, to "do phenomenology."
