" In my view, poetry has the capacity of
bringing us momentarily back to the oral and enveloping world.
The re-oralised word of poetry brings us back to the centre
of an interior world. The poet speaks not only ‘on the threshold of
being’, as Gaston Bachelard notes,43 but also on the threshold of
language. Equally, the task of art and architecture in general is to
reconstruct the experience of an undifferentiated interior world,
in which we are not mere spectators, but to which we inseparably
belong. "
