THE ORDER OF THE LETTERS

another great manifesto:

It isn’t a matter of destroying words for others. Or of making up notions to specify their nuances. Or of mixing terms together to make them hold more meaning.

But rather of
ALWAYS TAKING ALL THE LETTERS TOGETHER;
UNFOLDING BEFORE THE DAZZLED SPECTATORS THE MARVELS BROUGHT ABOUT BY LETTERS (DEBRIS OF DESTRUCTIONS);
CREATING AN ARCHITECTURE OF LETTRIC RHYTHMS;
ACCUMULATING IN A PRECISE FRAMEWORK THE FLUCTUATING LETTERS;
ELABORATING SPLENDIDLY THE HABITUAL MURMUR;
COAGULATING THE CRUMBS OF LETTERS FOR A REAL MEAL;
RESUSCITATE THE CONFUSED IN A DENSER ORDER;
RENDERING UNDERSTANDABLE AND PALPABLE EVERYTHING INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND VAGUE;
CONCRETISING SILENCE; WRITING NOTHINGS.

(Isidore Isou, Manifesto of Lettrist Poetry, 1942)
