In my dreams I heard a voice:
- Habib, would you like this onion
Or just a slice of it?
At this I fell into great disquiet
This enigmatic question
Was the question of my life!
Did I prefer the part to the whole
Or the whole to the part?
No, I wanted both
The part of the whole as well as the whole
And that this choice would involve no contradiction.

The Swedish poet Gunnar Ekelöf is a classic modernist in nordic literature, who say NO, to the institutionalize religion, social structure and science.
He believe in the lonesome person and the art of the impossible, worship a virgin who is childless and mother to all.
Introduce surrealism to Sweden in the 1930s, and work from modernism through the romantic and nonsense towards a figurative classic timelessness.
Learned poetry, often dreamed, based on classic, Indian, Arabic/ Persian, Greek and Latin thought, mixed with experience from travels to the Mediterranean.
This sites intention is to motivate absorption in the works through translation and bibliographic pin down of attach literature...
