Samuel Beckett - Dante... Bruno. Vico.. Joyce (1929)

17:23 "The root of any word whatsoever can be traced back to some pre-lingual symbol" This line stood out to me immediately, as I have been thinking a lot about how we are much less in a language based society now but an image based one, with the way in which current media has developed and spread. A plain example of this is how I notice older books don't have any image on the cover but simply the name of the author and the title, which I prefer - but go into any bookstore now and every book has to have some picture or artwork on it and it's very rare to find any that don't. As well there's plenty evidence how younger generations are reading less and less, and the place of entertainment of what used to be the novel, the story, the poem - became television, internet, etc. I thought that connection was interesting to stop and point out as I'm listening.
