"I placed one word beside another and finally with a great deal of effort managed to create a whole sentence--naturally not one that 'meant something' but one that was composed of word- nuances. It was the hidden meaning that I was seeking--a kind of Alchimie du Verbe. One word has its meaning and another has its own, but when they are brought together something strange happens to them: they have an in-between connotation at the same time as they retain their original individual meanings . . . Poetry is this very tension-filled relationship between the words, between the lines, between meanings." --Gunnar Ekelöf, tr.
