✍️From The Festival Book:
Today's World pushes man and society into major historical changes, new balances and new twists, which means that man in turn owes now, more than any time, to resist and to keep the world upright and always soaked in values that are timeless, universal and superior.

-Poetic diction and experience-
Perhaps this is a somewhat exaggerated, as it is almost always an unprovable, claim, illustrating also a propensity for competing with the prestige of science on something like its own terms—but the last remark in particular illuminates the same author’s terser formulation: “prose = words in the best order, poetry = the best words in the best order.” This attempt at definition, impeccable because uninformative, was derived from Jonathan Swift, who had said, also impeccably and uninformatively, that style in writing was “the best words in the best order.”
