"I have always found it impossible to deal with matters of aesthetic production – inter alia in literature, art or music – without declaring such production as being subject to poetic fiat. By this I mean to see the poet (standing for the artist in general) acting as a radically free being who has decided on a statement, has declared it, promulgated it if you like, and that is that, there’s the end of it."
