This I could say about literature. That it originates in life. Literature may be written in language, but its place lies above language. I struggle to abolish the inevitable gap between language and life. Writers and their readers are comrades in their pursuit of an eternal goal. I long to meet you. I long to feel your lives. Our encounter will change us, and our literature as well. I welcome you all, all those headed out beyond language as they carry the burden of language on their shoulders.
