ENGB04H3 Chapter Notes - Chapter W7: Marjorie Perloff, Roman Jakobson, Hugo Ball
Document Summary
From ferdinand de saussure"s course in general linguistics. Hugo ball, dada manifesto: . and yourselves, honoured poets, who are always writing with words but never writing the word itself, who are always writing around the actual point . Begins by attacking all poets: i don"t want words that other people have invented. My own rhythm, and vowels and consonants too, matching the rhythm and all my own. If this pulsation is seven yards long, i want words for it that are seven yards long: it will serve to show how articulated language comes into being. I let the vowels quite simply occur, as a cats meows. Words emerge, shoulders of words, legs, arms, hands of words. One should let too many words out. A line of poetry is a change to get rid of all the filth that clings to this accursed language. I want the word where it ends and begins.
