“Linguista sum, linguistici nihil a me alienum puto.”
Roman Jakobson
“O fuzilamento de Gumilióv (1886-1921), a longa agonia espiritual e as torturas físicas levaram Blók (1880-1921) à morte, as privações cruéis e a morte desumana de Khlebnikóv (1855-1922), os suicídios anunciados de Iessiênin (1895-1925) e Maiakóvski (1893-1930). Assim pereceram, no curso dos anos 20 deste século, na idade de 30 a 40 anos, os inspiradores de toda uma geração. E cada um deles teve a nítida e insuportável consciência do irremediável.”
Roman Jakobson, LA GENERATION QUI A GASPILLE SES POETES
“The opposition between acute and grave phonemes has the capacity to suggest an image of bright and dark, of pointed and rounded, of thin and thick, of light and heavy.”
Roman Jakobson, Six Lectures on Sound and Meaning
“Ryléiev foi executado aos 31 anos. Aos 36, Bátiuchkov enlouquece. Aos 22 morre Venetínov, e aos 32 Diélvig. Aos 34, Griboiédov é assassinado, Púchkin aos 37 e Liérmontov aos 26. Suas mortes foram caracterizadas mais de uma vez como formas de suicídio. O próprio Maiakóvski comparava seu combate contra a vida cotidiana aos duelos de Púchkin e Liérmontov.”
Roman Jakobson, LA GENERATION QUI A GASPILLE SES POETES
“I believe
that the poetic incompetence of some bigoted linguists has been mis­
taken for an inadequacy of the linguistic science itself. All of us here,
however, definitely realize that a linguist deaf to the poetic function of
language and a literary scholar indifferent to linguistic problems and
unconversant with linguistic methods are equally flagrant anachro­nisms.”
