What threatens us now is fear. Not an atomic bomb, not even fear of it. The danger that lies in wait for us is not here. These are the powerful forces of the modern world that try to use the fear of a person in order to deprive him of his individuality, soul, strive to bring him by fear and bribery to the level of a non-reflective mass ... - all this economy of ideologies or political systems ... - which reduce a person to the level of a single obedient masses for the sake of greatness and power, or because they themselves are frightened, deadlocked and afraid ...

Multilingualism and mythology is also a search for the roots of culture. After all, a symbol, a metaphor is not just a veiled knowledge, but a way of expressing the intuitions of the plurality of being. Semantic ambiguity almost always enriches, for it helps to attract subconscious associations, the ineffability that distinguishes poetry from prose.
