| Citazioni | When the expression is of unusual significance, we call it literature. Language is the medium of literature as marble or bronze or clay are the materials of the sculptor. The literature fashioned out of the form and substance of a language has the color and the texture of its matrix. Literature moves in language as a medium, but that medium comprises two layers the latent content of language [...] and the particular conformation of a given language. |
