"La matière n’est ni triste ni joyeuse. Elle a pour essence le courage, la volonté et la force absolue. Elle appartient toute entière au poète divinateur qui saura se délivrer de la syntaxe traditionnelle, lourde, étroite, attachée au sol, sans bras et sans ailes parce qu’elle est seulement intelligente. Seul le poète asyntaxique et aux mots déliés pourra pénétrer l’essence de la matière et détruire la sourde hostilité qui la sépare de nous."
