Half a Sheet of Foolscap
• The last load of the furniture had departed, the tenant, a young man with a mourning crape on his hat, took another turn around the residence to see had he missed anything. – No, he hadn’t missed anything. Not a single thing, and then he walked out, into the hall, firmly resolved to never again have to think about what he had gone through in those rooms. But look, in the hall, near the telephone, a half sheet of tacked-up paper, and it was covered with several kinds of handwriting – some of which were clearly legible, others scribbled out in lead pencil or red ink. There it was, the whole beautiful story which was played out in the short period of two years; everything he wanted to forget was there in writing; a piece of human life on a half sheet of paper.

• "Poetry and music does not happen on the page of the book or on the sheet of notes – it happens in the body and mind of the reader, the listener. Literature becomes literature and music becomes music only when we do something with that which is inscribed there. Before that, it is purely inanimate text, dots on lines. The art of interpreting is about making dead signs become living music and poetry. You must involve your entire self in this work; body, imagination and thought"
• Magnus William-Olsson, poet.
