Poetic license allows us to fill our mouth with words too big for our experience Poetisk frihet
Easiest thing in the universe with stolen color Den enklaste sak
Never use 'pain' unless it has numbed you beyond it self to recognition that pain is no end but a doorway Använd aldrig ordet 'smärta'
Never use 'joy' unless joy has flooded all you are and made you a joy to someone else Använd aldrig ordet 'glädje'
Never use any word unless you have ben harrowed, sliced and disected by its content and reassembled by its resurrection in your flesh and blood Använd inget enda ord
You ask me then in a 'sotto voce' a terrible silence? Säger du då
Never use 'silence' until you have heard a heart stop beating
Använd aldrig
