There are oddballs that will only perceive one of the worlds, they died with the past because they did not understand it (...) He removes us from [Paul] Klee to move us closer to Edgar Poe. We must venture into the great cosmic night, not to sleep a heavy, dreamless sleep, but to experience the small creatures of instinct and desire, which they are in the transition between dream and reality. They move in the rhythm that corresponds to the dream state, in the rhythm that leads from the dream to a richer reality ”.
