Within a Sky Full of Earth

I am interested only in nonsense, only in that which has no practical meaning.
DANIIL KHARMS • 1937

When I write poetry, the most important thing for me is not the idea, not the contents and not the form and not the obscure notion of "quality", but something even more obscure and unintelligible to the rational mind, but understandable to me... This is purity of order. This purity is the same in the sun, in the grass, in man, and in poetry. Real art stands side by side with the first reality. It creates the world and is its first reflection.
