Art functions pyramid-ally : all new achievements are based
on the utilization of everything that has been accumulated below, at the
foundations of the pyramid. Revolutions do not occur here; this field, more
than any other, is governed by evolution. And we must know what has been done
before us in the field of verbal art. This does not mean that you must follow in
trodden paths: you must contribute something of your own. A work of art is of
value only when it is original, both in content and in form. But in order to
leap upward, it is necessary to take off from the ground. It is essential that
there be a ground.
