langage concret

"The property of the poetic image, as opposed to the essential image, if I may rely on this mediocre epithet, is to incarnate this quality of materialization, one that exercises a tremendous power over man and is quite capable of making him believe in a logical impossibility in the name of logic. The poetic image presents itself in the form of fact, adorned with all fact's necessities. But—and this is a fact that no one has ever thought of challenging, except perhaps for Hegel, and even he did not attach overwhelming importance to the question—fact resides not in the object but in the subject: fact exists only in terms of time, that is to say of language" (Le Paysan de Paris 201).
