Show Newspapers and Literature. All this over emphasis of the unmeaning un-meaning surface is due to a confusion? of newspaper and literary standards, ' ends, aims. The word literary has com to suggest an absence of red-blood? spinners and knitters in the sun; the' 35 cent magazine crowd; this is nonsensical, non-sensical, of course. In its elemental' meaning literature is at least as stern' a jab as journalism, albeit the inten' tion and function of the latter is mere--ly to present things that happen, of the former to volatilize such material into hovering and potent meanings, to strike the rock and raise a spirit that is life. |
