"The words of the world want to make sentences." — Gaston Bachelard

Poetry is one of the destinies of speech... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.

The great function of poetry is to give back to us the situations of our dreams.

It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, as we wrongly think, but that the imagination lives in the child.

Man is an imagining being.
