"Old, fetid world dying in its machines." So the old guys sang and I knew what they meant. I felt contentions over the question of forms; forms and the idea of progress. If, in other words, there was progress in human affairs there will be a version of that progress in artistic forms. The idea was to find the conjunction between the feeling form of the "society" and the content of the work itself. And that is thread easily to lose in the maze it all makes.

He knew I was experiencing an acute conflict between the "old" and the "new." I didn't want the old form really or the old ideas but I always wanted to retain the old and ancient spirit that doesn't have any specific content in it.
