Nature of the function
Present this idea in form
It should never be literal
It must be reworked
I don’t want imitation
I want creation
A creature that is an independent entity
With a life and problems of its own
Authentic and permanent
Full of poetry and knowledge

Tell me a story.

In this century, and moment, of mania,
Tell me a story.

Make it a story of great distances, and starlight.

The name of the story will be Time,
But you must not pronounce its name.

Tell me a story of deep delight.

—Robert Penn Warren
1905-1989
