"Walk with me world, upon my right hand walk, / speak to me Babel, that I may strive to assemble / of all these syllables a single word / before the purpose of speech is gone."
— Conrad Aiken (1889-1973) "This Image or Another," The Nation (December 28, 1932)
The Tower of Babel by Pieter Brueghel the Elder (1563) |
