Poetics for The Void  (See last night’s Loki, Episode 5)

"Only poets and schizophrenics communicate in language
that defies rational analysis, and poets do not normally
do so in ordinary conversation . . . . They also do it with
a certain elegance, lacking in this case, and usually with
some kind of rhythm and sonority."

— Robert Anton Wilson, Quantum Psychology
discussing the following situation in a mental hospital:

"A strange man had approached and said, 'I'm not  Slavic.'
Many paranoids begin a conversation with such assertions,
vitally important to them, but sounding a bit strange to
the rest of us." 

See as well the previous two posts and a web page that
discusses whether Romania is a Slavic country.
