Simon Cadell: Poetry Reciter

Quotes 

• Poetry Reciter : [as Jean Arp]  DADA wanted to replace the logical nonsense of man with the illogically senseless.

• Poetry Reciter : [as Jean Arp]  Some old friends of mine from the days of Dada, who always fought for dreams and freedom, are now disgustingly preoccupied with class aims and are busy turning the Hegelian dialectic into a hurdy-gurdy tune. Conscientiously they mix poetry and the Five Year Plan in one pot; but man will not allow himself to be transformed into scrubbed, hygienic numeral. It is hard to imagine how the greatest individualists can come out from a termite state.
