to remember and a list
of things I want to forget,
but I see they are the same list.”

If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmastered importunity.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“Surrealism ... is the forbidden flame of the proletariat embracing the insurrectional dawnenabling us to rediscover at last the revolutionary moment: the radiance of the workers councils as a life profoundly adored by those we love.”
—Manifesto of the Arab Surrealist Movement (1975)
“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (17921822)
