Originally the idea comes from the space needed between two sounds to make them meaningful. Without that space they are just noise. But the idea transfers or resonates with many forms of awareness. It is what makes metaphor more powerful than simile, because it leaves room for the listener or reader to make the connection rather than doing the work for him or her. Bringing two elements into proximity so they can comment on each other, but without making them comment is the key. It is like creating a critical mass in an atomic reactor. The closer the elements get the more they heat up.<br /><br />Merton is engaging with the resonant interval of creation.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />TalkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
