Symbol

a symbol is a line, twisted and bent upon itself, full of significance, but meaningless to the uninitiated; a symbol is an aperture into a world of thoughts, ideas, concepts, a symbol is a gift and a poison, a pure tool and a means of contamination; a symbol is not just a sign, it is its own source, it shows and is shown by itself, it is what it is, it is nothing without the symbolist; a symbol is a thin percussive instrument; a symbol is a baby lion; a symbol is the sun; a symbol is a circle
