Huh. I wonder what they meant by this, those Greeks.

This is Russian letters seemingly at random. There maybe something encrypted here, but so far I'm failing to see any pattern.
He may just be fucking with you sir.

That's futuristic poetry, if you can call that poetry.

these are damned futurist poets
played with form, with words and with the language itself
this is a real poem by a Russian futurist poet of the early 20th century
do not look for meaning in this verse, it is not here
probably the only meaning in this verse, which the futurist put in, is then to enrage lovers of classical poems with this verse - that is, to write nonsense and call it a poem

You, my good sir, are even more of a massive pleb. Futurists didn't merely "play" with form and language - they were the first ones to discover language's truest, most powerful aesthetic potential and weaponise themselves with it in order to fulfill their stylistic ambitions. Before Futurism, it was commonly agreed that word is a basic unit of artistic expression in literature, just like sound is in music, colour is in fine arts and so on. But the thing is, musician is free to alter the sound however he wants, painter is free to create new colours as much as he wants, sculptor is free to carve stone however he wants, yet poets are always limited to a certain amount of artistic material, which is definitely large, but is still confined. Don't you think it's unfair? So did Futurists. And, thereby, they cultivated word - their very own word - and showed everyone its endless possibilities. Linguistic and synonymous associations, phonetic allegories, grandiose, extremely expressionistic meaning, that a single word might gain with emphasis put on it, like in Mayakovsky's ladders - all of it either didn't exist or was in a fetus stage before Futurism came around. Read a poem in OP one more time. Can't you hear how it's screaming to you in painful, depressing dissonance? But at the same time, can't you hear how mighty, thunderously it speaks to you? This effect was impossible to reach for poetry of the past, especially with such a limited amount of verbal space. Yet here it is, solemnly looking right at you. If you still somehow aren't convinced, read Shklovsky or Jacobsen, to gain a better understanding of literature and artistic form and cease to be a /lit/ babby.
