An excerpt "From The Notebooks" (p. 18):
* * *
"Most language refers not to the world but to itself, is a
music of sense rather than sense itself. That language is metaphorical is, in
time, its frailty and deterioration. An allusion is a reservation of meaning.
"Joyce came to feel that the fall of a leaf was as grievous
as the fall of man. You must understand this to read Finnegans Wake.
(Beckett in conversation at the Closerie des Lilas).
