Poetry is closer to music than it is to "literature."
Your ensconcing of the word literature within the protective armor of quotation marks tells me you don't really believe what you're saying. I know I don't.
I was being facetious, of course. But if it's closer to music and literature you'll be hard pressed to explain the need for translation. (I assume there is such a need, of course.) That would make an interesting essay.
In the dictionary, anyway.

ResponderEliminarSpatialism, really? I go away for a few days and all hell breaks loose, then diagrams itself on a flat surface...
