The mental element pours into language the grammatical and prosaic. The poet, in turn, seeks to overcome this when he shapes language artistically, and then, the true poetic artist seeks to approximate language to what it is as an expression of the whole human being, as an expression of sympathy and antipathy, as feelings, as an expression of joy, pain and suffering, of the intensification of feelings and so on. In this way, the poet works his way out of the abstractly prosaic-dramatic and works his way into that which is actually artistic in language, but which is basically a volitional act. The poet works his way into the euphony of the tone, of the sound; he works his way into that which is a kind of religious-grammatical /] summarizing of sounds; he works his way into the rhythm, meter and so on, alliteration and so on. These are all formations, revelations of language. And only with the fact that this element, this ungrammatical, one might say anti-grammatical and anti-conceptual element, comes into the formation of language, is language in turn led back to its actual artistic element.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"33.
