Poetic-Verses from ATHANASE

Language (English)


 'What is solipsism? It is a theory according to which the thinking subject's only reality is himself.'

        General Philosophical Definition
 
'We speak by saying nothing: Men, if you desire to express eternal being, you must first renounce language.'

        Angelus Silesius 'The Cherubic Pilgrim'
 
'The ultimate figure of Transcendence is silence.'

        Karl Jaspers
 
With language, my dear Prince, we can describe
both the tragic events of history
and the soul washed clean in the cool of evening -
the quintessence of the human love of Beauty.

translated from the French of Athanase Vantchev de Thracy by Norton Hodges
