Annotation
“What if we descended into those afterworlds where, among the shades of infants, stillborn vocations wander: barren impulses, larvae of ideas that found neither wings nor form, for desire is not yet power, and love is not possession. Faith is not enough; grace is needed. In literature, as in theology, deeds without mercy are nothing.”
A cartography of poetic impulses that ended in failure.
