Metaphors of unity and integration take us only so far, because they are derived from the finiteness of the human mind. - Northrop Frye

I don`t want the reduction of religion to aesthetics, but the abolition of aesthetics & incorporating of art with the Word of God. (p. 7)

The human mind is [a poet's] individual mind at first, but as soon as he writes a poem it becomes our [the readers'] minds too. There is no self-expression in [a poet's] poem, because once the poem is there the individual [poet] has disappeared. ...there is really no such thing as self-expression in literature.

The world of literature is a world where there is no reality except that of the human imagination.
