Good quotes are obscure enough that there are multiple ways a person can interpret them, yet specific enough once interpreted that the reader feels they've actually figured something out. "We are but a quirk in the fractal of time" A quirk just means an original object... I think. Hmm, upon looking up the definition there's a lot of things a quirk can be, but basically it's something unexpected, strange, sudden and/or original. So you're saying that we, people, are an original and strange event in the "fractal of time." Using fractal of time sounds like a serious cop out to me, because unless you understand quantum physics it sounds like you're just using that term to sound deep without knowing what it really means. However even if you weren't your quote would still come down to meaning the following... "We, humans, are a strange and unexpected event in time" The argument for that statement can be made easily if you completely ignore how insignificant our existence is. We've been around how many thousands of years? The earth has been around for only 3 or 4 billion while the universe has been around 13.7 billion. We are one planet in one solar system in one galaxy... and there are billions of other galaxies out there, I get the feeling we're not original. Sorry I took an astronomy course last year and can't stop thinking about all that stuff. Okay for the next one you added another adjective, the word genetic. So you're describing the fractal of time as genetic, which is interesting because the way I interpreted that was you're saying that even though most people would technically agree that time exists independently of humans genes, without our existence it really has no meaning, nothing else in the universe that we're aware of has an understanding of space and time. "Tomorrow will tell what time it is today" Pretty sure there are millions of lines like this, what you need to do if you're serious about being a poet is expand on these generic ideas/lines and make them your own. Try to write a good 20 line free verse poem or something, don't just stop with these three short lines. |
