But knowledge, too, is nothing more than the construction of myths about the world, since myth resides in its very foundations and we cannot escape beyond myth.

At bottom, both one and the other have the same aim. Philosophy is really philology, the creative exploration of the word. But the reverse would be more accurate: And yet over time the word grows rigid, becomes immobilized, ceases to be the conductor of new meanings.
The word in its colloquial, present-day meaning is now only a fragment, a rudiment of some former, all-encompassing, integral mythology. And yet over time the word grows rigid, becomes immobilized, ceases to be the conductor of new meanings. For that reason, it retains within it a tendency to scnulz again, to regenerate, to become complete in its full meaning.
The original word was an hallucination circling the light of meaning, was the great universal totality. For that reason, every kind of poetry is an act of mythologization and tends to create myths about the world.
Schulz, Bruno: Mityzacja rzeczywistości
To name something means to include it in some universal meaning. The life of the word and its development have been set on new tracks, on the tracks of practical life, and subjected to new notions of correctness.
The poet restores conductivity to words through new short-circuits, which arise out of their fusions. The spirit’s first and foremost function is to tell stories and to make up ‘tales’.
For that reason, every kind of poetry is an act of mythologization and tends to create myths about the world. The process of making sense of the world is closely connected with the word. The image is also an offshoot of the original word, the word which was not yet a sign, but a myth, a story, or a meaning.
Visegrad Literature :: Schulz, Bruno: Mityzacja rzeczywistości
The life of the word resides in the fact that it tenses and strains to produce a thousand associations, like the quartered body of the snake of legend, whose separate pieces sought each other in the dark. Every fragment of reality lives due to the fact that it partakes of some sort schuz universal meaning.
Translated by John M.
The Mythologization of Reality English The essence mitzacja reality is meaning. At present we consider the word to be merely a shadow of reality, its reflection. The mythologization of the world has not yet ended. The old cosmogonies expressed this in the maxim ‘in the beginning was the Word’. The word in its colloquial, present-day meaning is now only a fragment, a rudiment of some former, all-encompassing, integral mythology.

The word itself, left to its own devices, gravitates towards meaning. There is not even one of our ideas that is not derived from mythology, a mythology that has been transformed, mutilated, remoulded.
The process of making sense of the world is closely connected with the word. Our most sober concepts and definitions are distant offshoots of myths and ancient stories. The isolated, mosaic-type word is a later product, is the result of technique.
The original word was an hallucination circling the light of meaning, was the great universal totality. Co nie ma sensunie jest dla nas rzeczywiste. The unnamed does not exist for us.
Bruno Schulz
The life of the word and its development have been set on new tracks, on the tracks of practical life, and subjected to new notions of correctness. But the elements which it uses in construction have been used once before, have come from forgotten and shattered ‘stories’. That which has no meaning is schullz real for us.
Every fragment of reality lives due to the fact that it partakes of some sort of universal meaning. We use cookies to ensure that we give you the best experience on our website.
