I can see why many visual artists dislike words in artworks. They feelthat words dirty the clear water thathas to reflect the sky. It disturbsthe pleasure of the silent image,the freedom from history, the beautyof nameless forms.(...)I know that neither images nor words,can escape the drunkenness andlonging caused by the turningof the world. Words and images drink the same wine.There is no purity to protect.
