Heimito

"Man hört ein Scharren im Wald, der sonst lautlos in seinem eigenen Gesumm ruht. Man hört jeden Ton weit, jedes Geräusch, den anschlagenden Specht, zwei raufende Eichkater im Geäste. Das Himmelslicht sickert oben bei den Wipfelspitzen ein, das Schweigen fällt in erdrückenden Massen, der Wald schweigt gegen den Boden zu..., die Äste der dicken Fichten sind gesenkt und durchgeschwungen." (DS, S.204)

perverted by language

Cendrars: My dear sir, it's a matter of language. For several years, each time that I prepare to write a book, I first arrange the vocabulary I am going to employ. Thus, forL'Homme Foudroyé[The Astonished Man, available again from Peter Owen], I had a list of three thousand words arranged in advance, and I used all of them. That saved me a lot of time and gave a certain lightness to my work. It was the first time I used that system. I don't know how I happened onto it.... It's a question of language. Language is a thing that seduced me. Language is a thing that perverted me.Language is a thing that formed me. Language is a thing that deformed me. That's why I am a poet, probably because I am very sensitive to language -- correct or incorrect, I wink at that. I ignore and despise grammar which is at the point of death, but I am a great reader of dictionaries and if my spelling is none too sure it's because I am too attentive to the pronunciation, this idiosyncrasy of the living language. In the beginning was not the word, but the phrase, a modulation. Listen to the songs of birds!

bear
A bear in a dream is a very rich and complicated dream symbol. In order to understand it, objective association need to be made. Bears are solitary animals and the females are solitary mothers. They hibernate in a cave and they are generally not predatory animals. A bear is only aggressive when provoked, and as such times he is dangerous and deadly. Bears in dreams may represent a period of introspection and depression. However, this may be a part of a healing cycle, where the dreamer has retreated into himself in order to regenerate and in order to create something new and valuable in his life.
