A lecture on the cubeYou take a piece of stone,chisel it with blood,grind it with Homer’s eye,
A lecture on the cubeYou take a piece of stone,chisel it with blood,grind it with Homer’s eye,burnish it with beamsuntil the cube comes out perfect.Next you endlessly kiss the cubewith your mouth, with others’ mouths,and, most important, with infanta’s mouth.Then you take a hammerand suddenly knock a corner off.All, indeed absolutely all will saywhat a perfect cube this would have beenif not for the broken corner!- Nichita Stanescu(from the collection Imperfect Works, 1979) -- source link
