The Poet, On Naming

"Everyone deserves a name of their own but no one has one. No one has had one and no one will have one. Reality beyond names is uninhab-
itable. And the reality within names is an everlasting breakdown. Meaning is not to be found within words but beyond them. These words I'm writing are searching for a meaning and that search is their authentic meaning. Meaning is not to be found within words but beyond them."

~Octavio Paz, from El Mono Gramatico
