A lyrical approach involves a shift in reasoning, judgment, posture, gesture and perception; requires a shift in whole-part relations; and does not distinguish philosophy from art, literality from musicality, goodness from beauty.

Lyric culture promotes intimacy the way theoretic culture promotes literacy.

Lyric thought is a direct response to the fact that the particular capacity for language-use possessed by our species cuts us off from the world in a way, or to a degree, that is painful.

Silence

We experience the burden of our capacity for language as loss— though we rarely recognize that this is the burden, that what we have lost is silence.

Wordlessness

Lyric art is the fullest expression of the hunger for wordlessness.
