Fore/word and Back/wordThe Fourth Paradoxist ManifestoThe Paradoxist Distich Theory

The PARADOXIST DISTICH consists of two verses, antithetic to each other, butwhich together amalgamate in a whole defining (or making connection with) the title.

Commonly, the second verse negates the first, containing therefore anantonymic/antagonistic notion/collocation or opposite idea.

The making of the distich :

- Take a dictionary of phrases and linguistic expressions, proverbs, sayings,teachings, aphorisms, riddles, adages, maxims, quips, or famous sayings of well-known personalities, and contradict them without pity, shear them!

- Or take a dictionary of antonyms, and another of synonyms and joggle withcontradictory notions/collocation/phrases - homogenizing heterogenic elements;choose also an adequate title and you enter in Paradoxism.

The School of Paradoxist Literature, which evolved around 1980s, continuesthrough these bi-verses closed in a new lyric exact formula, but with an opening toessence. For this kind of procedural poems one can elaborate mathematicalalgorithms and implement them in a computer: but, it is preferable a machine with soul!

Characteristics:

The whole paradoxist distich should be as a geometric unitary parabola,hyperbola, ellipse at the borders between art, philosophy, rebus, and mathematics which exist in complementariness; and to contain:- Antitheses, antinomies, antagonisms, antiphrases, paraphrases, contrary

metaphors, polarizations;- paradoxes at the semantic level: ideate, social, political, theological, linguistic,

psychological, philosophical, and even scientific; exactly this paradox providesthe savory to the whole; from here the beauty of the writing, the flavor of thesmall metaphor fluttering its twined wings;

- pseudo-paradoxes here and there;- preposterous character, against an obsolete academism and behind the times

traditionalism (Al. Lungu genus);- the oxymoronic replication / fusion / juxtaposition of jargons, linguistic

expressions, patterns, archetypes, schemes, blueprints, classic stencils;- the finding of (molding/embodying in) creation formulae and anti-formulae;- counter poems;- antithetic epigram styles;

- parodies of phrases and linguistic expressions, proverbs, sayings, aphorisms,adages, assessments, (petrified, and not only) language clichs, grammaticalstructures, phraseologies by:

o alterations of sense to 45 or 90 degrees;o in the opposite sense, against (at 180 degrees);o the figurative interpreted strictly speaking, and vice versa (breach of all

conventions);- paraphrases for the purpose of refreshing the dead patterns;- or in metaphorical nonsense, exaggerated, parabolic (reduction enlarged, like at

a microscope, penetrating in the infinitesimal of the small worlds, concentrated);- idiosyncrasies at contradictions, incongruences, divergences, deformations,

alterations, distortions, mystifications, poetic mock-ups and anti/non-poetics;- text, para-text, anti-text, inter-text, non-text with paradoxist modulations

(sublanguage, over-language, meta-language);- inspired / chiseled folklore: quips, wisecracks, jokes (from cartoon characters

and shows (Bul, Itzic and trul));- or juggled with the homonyms ambiguity (multi-sense);- some paradoxes became common places, metaphors, they are traditionalized

although initially they encountered resistance, they were rejected; thats the fait accompli of any paradox!

The paradoxist distiches should be:- diagrammatic;- providing some knowledge;- philosophical quintessence;- brilliant imagination;- witty words, memorable, soothing your soul;- few words; non multa, sed multum : maximizing the minimum, minimizing the

maximum these days, when people read less, we need concise writings;- with diversity of topics, notional spheres, paradoxist poetic equations;- put it bluntly, openly, funny, cleverly (if we use the scalpel for the lyrics surgery);- when read, the verses should glide;- at least one interior rhythm (even rhyme) for a plus of harmony (in this apparent

disharmony);- the metric structure of the two verses is randomly selected;- the phrases show some special sweetness;- attention at the poem division; playful in time and contra-time, caesura and anti-

caesura;- having a title, the poem is integrated, rounds off, becomes an entity;- the title, short and comprehensive, should contain the key of the poetics corpus

(the referred to and referring to it)- a sort of definitions for lyric rebuses: based on anti-theses, and utilizing bi-verses

that define the title;- do not interpret the paradoxist distiches as simple witticisms, but meanings of

meaningless (deeperly going to the substance, to the kernel), other times evenmeaningless of meanings (simplistic impressions, after superficial lecture, thatthe material is understood profoundly);

- of an organic eclecticism.

This volume is untranslatable, but adaptable to other languages clichs.

Historical considerations:

I discovered the Paradoxism, I did not invent it. It existed before paradoxists.

The popular wisdom, and a part of the cultured creation, fit closely on the classicalparadoxist mould; with this purpose, let see the following examples:

- beginning with the antique Greeks, through Plato (who puts in Protagorasmouth):

Everybody / Teaches everybody;- or our Roman ancestors:

Festina / Lente (Rush / Slowly);- continuing with old Romanian aphorisms:

Stay curved / and think straight (C. Negruzzi, ,fragment, 1840);

- how did Voltaire say?The rules in art are made / To be ignored;and then?!

- Baudelaire with Les fleurs du mal;- Eminescu about a virgin:

Willing / Unwilling- passing by Caragiale, with his:

Clean / Dirty- the jocular Arghezi from Oltenia:

We say something / And smoke something else! (observe the transparentallusion) but also his poems from Flori de mucigai (Molds flowers);

- the political paradox:for example

The more some want to put Marshal Antonescu down, even more do the oppositecamp glorifying him it is like using a scale: when a pan is too low, you feeladding more weight on the opposite pan to establish the equilibrium; it is apsychological process. The same, during a game between two teams for whichyou dont have any preference, you tend to be supportive of the team that hasless chances to win; (+ and - should balance each other); therefore, we can makethe affirmation that

Ion Antonescu fell / Rising- therefore, their effort to destroy him, in fact helped the rise of his

popularity; it is the action of the Opposite Effect, plus the Equilibrium Law; andvice versa; excessive ovations produce converse reactions: He, the favored of the regime The poet Mihai Beniuc ascending / He failed; unanimity (positive or negative) does not exist;

- About the Stalinist bureaucracy:Two people shovel / Three people report;

- Grigore Moisils irony :

ION BARBU: Is the biggest mathematician / amongst poets,And the biggest poet / amongst mathematicians!


6/108

(Which, unfortunately-fortunately, applies to me as well?);

- similarly, Alberto Caeiro, a.k.a. Fernando Pessoa:The unique secret sense of thingsIs that these dont hold any secret sense;

- and more recent, a social paradox

The power / of the powerlessessay of Vaclav Havel, who from a dissident (without any power), becomesPresident (with the highest power) in the past Czechoslovakia, implementing ademocratic country, which in turn tears itself apart :

- O. Paler in Flacra (The Flame) publication:SPECIALIZATION meansTo know more and more / about less and less,Until youll know everything / about nothing!

- the economic paradox:Countries that produce too much / which they dont consumeAnd consume a lot / from what they dont produce(Roger Garaudy, 1997);

- Caracal shockers:a) Prison / on the Liberty street!b) Cemetery / on the Resurrection street!c) Robbery / at the Police Station!d) Fire / at the Fire Station!

- Playful talk, in contrary sense:I do you a favor; / Do you get upset?(Well, obviously not!);

- Or proverbs, maxims, sayings, witticisms, often used contemporaneousreflections:

The lazybones / Runs around moreLets go at work to work; / God help us not to find work!He laughs / Of distress!Take it away from me / Otherwise I take him outTaking a deaf dog / To huntingCatch the blind, / Tear his eyes outWhip the saddle / To attention the mare!When two argue / The third winsLet be a wolf / Eaten by a sheep!The man who doesnt serve / Will not become a bossYou drink his money away / And he drinks your money awayMaking strong knots, / Requires time to undoYour have hope / Like the beardless for the beardPenny wise / And pound foolish

(I. C. Hin escu, Proverbele romnilor, (Romanians Proverbs), Edition in care of ConstantinNegreanu and Ion Bratu, Forward by I. C. Chi imia, Facla Publishing House, Timi oara, 1985)

(reverse interpretations);- And the English proverb:

A glass is half full / Or half empty,


7/108

therefore any thing can be positive and negative; it depends of your angle of interpretation this principle is used by propagandists;

- From the Newspapers big headlines (or even from books titles from bookstores,or references in a library), which, if in their contents contain a paradox, theybecome more inciting and shocking when read [see the predilection of manywriters in using antinomies in order to surprise (or attract) the public];

- Even at football, the coach advising his players:The best defense / Is the attack Without being a paradox, but a tactic, a reality;

- Extending to the American Murphys laws of a bitter humor:The probability that a slice of bread will fall on its spread face is greater than that

of falling on its non-spread face(!)- And in Calculus there exists, somehow paradoxist (but, however, nonparadoxical!)

Sup inf (M) is the dual of inf sup (M) ,which means the largest from the smallest, and the smallest from the largest,respectively.Great, isnt it?

- Or the upside-down drunks song:From the drunk / tavern Im coming,On the fence I walk / the road holding.With the dogs / I hit the stonesAnd am friend / with foe abalones!

- And the following three semi-paradoxist verses:Who knows how a thing is done, does it!Who doesnt know, teaches others how to do it!And who doesnt know how to do it nor to teach others, leads!!

(applicable to previous partys secretaries, cultural guides, and not only);- During the dictatorship:

Art. 1. The boss is right.Art. 2. The boss is always right.Art. 3. When the boss is not right, it is applicable Art. 1 or Art. 2;

- Or from the jokes whispered sometime in various corners,CEAU ESCU ERAThe pessimist: Worst that this is not possible.The optimist: No, it is possible (!)

(and, indeed, the transition period proves to be much more difficult) which jokesintellectually sweetening those black years;

- Plus the famous popular (synonym: like jokes, gags, with semi-absurdnuances, but nevertheless of a very... plastic logic!)

THE STUPIDITY TOP:To believe that your mother in lawIs virgin!

or THE SWIMMING TOP:To swim with one hand, and with the other To move your legs (!)

or

THE HENS TOP:The hens legs are similarly parallel,Especially the left one (!!)

(the second line tops all).And many others, under the readers eye and at listeners ear.

Types of Paradoxist distiches1. Clichs paraphrased:

The right man / In the wrong place = OFFENDER2. Parodies:

the popular proverb becomes, through ironic substitution,

Talking about the wolf / And the pig is at the door (!) = COINCIDENCE;

3. Reversed formulae:

Any exception / Admits rules (instead of );

4. Double negation

which means affirmation:War / Against war = PEACE;

5. Double affirmation,

which means negation, strange no?The sanctification / Of saints = ORDINATION, that is, the saints have

their sins, therefore they are not saints;

6. Turn around on false tracks:

With one eye of glass, / And the other of cat! (You think of a being, but infact is) = THE MOTORCYCLE;

7. Hyperboles (exaggeratedly):

Out of four workers / Five are bosses = BUREAUCRACY;

8. With nuance changeable from the title:

She was virgin / twice =a) serious (biblical): VIRGIN MARY;b) or joking: PROSTITUTE;

9. Epigrammatic:

TO SOMEONE WHO LIKES MEETINGS = Let him meet / With himself;

10. Pseudo-paradoxes:

Non-guilty ones / Indicted ones = INNOCENTS


9/108

9

Motivation / Of no motivation = NEGLECT;

11. Tautologies:

Close to / Close = PROXIMITYBeyond / The beyond = EXTREME FAR AWAYCity / Of cities = METROPOLISDipper / Than deep = BOTTOM How friendly / Are our friends? = VIGILANCE;

12. Redundant:

Do we go / Or we dont stay? = WHERE

Are you sleeping, / Or you did not wake? = CUCKOO CLOCK

13. Based on pleonasms:

He invents something / Already invented = PLAGIARISTPublic transportation cashier: Advance / Forward!;

14. or on anti-pleonasms:

THE TRAVELERS:No, we advance / Backwards!;

15. Substitution of the attribute in collocations

(using mockery, ridicule, and contra-sense):, which is trivial collocation, and which becomes by substitution:

Blind / Of a leg = LAMELY(and so it becomes more interesting);

16. Substitution of the complement in collocations

[pedaling on a metamorphic nonsense (not absurd), exaggerating the collocationinto surrealist direction) :

, which is a common expression,becomes after substitution:

With the broken socks / On your rear! = RAGGED (good-humor);

17. Permutation of various parts of the whole:

Becomes lakes brother / Until the devil goes away = PUDDLE;

has variants:Dont put the pot / Where your hand doesnt simmer,

or Your pot doesnt simmer / Where you dont put the hand = ATTEMPT;

What are the original forms of the following expressions permutations?

The hammer / Praises the gipsyEye to eye / Dont pull the vulturesBeat the hot / While is ironThe cat with mice / Does not catch bell

Good dog / In a cheese sackBehind the heroes / Many wars turn upDont get broken / That you stretchSame hat / With other MariaThe trunk doesnt jump far of / Its chipsDrop stupid pear / In the sapless mouthThe gift of teeth / Is not looked up in horse

?Find a corresponding title for each of these 11 paradoxist distiches;

18. The negation of the clichs

(that would produce antitheses): becomes

Accept / What you dont get = NONCONFORMIST; becomes

Let me / Not to let you = REVENGE MAN;analogous

The deaf hears / But doesnt match them up = CONFUSION;

19. Antonymization (substantively, adjectively, etc.):

becomesSweet as / The gall = BITTER (alcoholic beverage), andBitter as / The honey = SUGAR SYRUP;

20. Fable against the grain:

AND THEY HAD A DAUGHTER SO BEAUTIFUL //That you could look at her / But at sun not!

( and have been transposed);

21. Change in grammatical category (preserving substitutions homonymy):

IN NEED // The good friend / Hardly is detected(Adverbial of place is changed in adverbial of manner using aphonetic substitution), and vice versa:HARDLY // The good friend / In need is known;

22. Epistolary or colloquia style:

DEAR TEACHER, // The child knows to read / But doesnt know the alphabetobserve the aberration):


11/108

11

23. Puzzles

He looks at you / Without seeing you = (Who? THE MOLE, becausedoes not have eyes; or THE BLIND);

24. Metaphors:

I affably bathe in the nightly / light of your ebony locks of hair = LOVE;25. Philosophical:

PARSIFAL (Greek): He didnt know / That he knew;

26. Distiches translations:

VOLENS NOLENS = Willy / Nilly;

27. Pure scientific definitions

Superior form / Of inferior species = AMEBA;

28. Homonymic puzzles (rebus)More sea than the / Sea = THE OCEAN;

29. Distiches of dual verses:

The science of religion / Or the religion of science = THEOLOGY;

30. Paradoxist poems-collage:

Violent images, collected from the press or mass media, which alternatediscordantly one to each other (volume in work);

31. Semi-collage poems:

Collages + contradictory original creations (volume in work);

32. The majority of distiches can be generalized:

To see what / Others dont see = PERSPICACIOUS(I)To hear what / Others dont hear = PERSPICACIOUS (II)

Expanding we have{Predicate} what / Others dont {Predicate};

Analogous UNDER QUESTION MARK:

How free / Is the free press?Where and could be substituted by {attributes}, and {subjects}respectively;

33. Snapped (entrapped) in creationist formulae:

Let a noun at nominative, a noun at genitive, an adjectival noun, an adjective,


12/108

12

a verb, an adverb, an adjectival adverb, a substantivized verb, the antonym of the noun S, the antonym of the adjective A

the antonym of the adverb Adv the negation of the verb V,

{plus the connection particles (prepositions, conjunctions, etc.) modifiedaccordingly}.

Here are some categories:

a) / The critique / Of the criticism = EXEGETICS

b) / An occasion / Occasionally = MISHAP

c) / Adhesion / To no adhesions = LIBERTINISMAny known / Has an unknown = THE EQUATION

d) / It represents / The non-representing = INSIGNIFICANT

And vice versae) / Serious in / His non-seriousness = FUNNYHonestly / He is a non-serious individual = SINCERITY

formulae which should be invented by active (no passive) readers?....?...?...

34. Pairs of dual distiches:

Defining the same notion (title):Anarchical / Melody = JAZZ (I)

andMelodious / Anarchy = JAZZ (II)

or different notions:Professional / Amateur = DILETTANTEAmateur / Professional = PASSIONATE;

35. Double paradox:Anarchical melody / Or melodious anarchy = JAZZThe sense has a nonsense, / And the nonsense has a sense = THEESSENCE OF PARADOXISM

(Sometimes is done by combining two dual distiches);

36. Double semi-paradox:

Renowned geologist amongst physicists,


13/108

13

And physicist amongst geologists = GEOPHYSICIST(Sometimes is done by combining two semi-paradoxist distiches);

37. Novel of paradoxist distiches (concatenated):

with antagonist chapters; Example: PERPLEXING YOU!

The literary currents are a form and re-form of reply to the world, in this end of thesecond millennium of science and technology, when we witness an electronic revolution,an informational revolution, World Wide Web, < The Internet > , when the poetry is dead,therefore the poetry is not dead and new formulae of expression need to be invented.

And this is not a non-sense; instead it is a lyric adaptation to the anti-lyric, whenthe art is a non-art itself

Introducing species of poetry with a novel fixed form, the paradoxism captures anew way (in fact very old!) of representation.

For legitimating the new poems we present, below, a prime number, 601 * of typical classical p-a-r-a-d-o-x-i-s-t d-i-s-t-i-c-h-e-s, collected and refined during 1993-1998.

______________________________________________________________________ * If 601 is a prime number in Z Space, then it becomes a composite in the Z[i] Spaceof Gauss Integers, because:

601 = (24+5i)(24-5i).

The file is in Word Perfect 6.1 for Windows 95.

The paradoxism, spread at international level, is present also on the internet (in English).A Romanian version and a French version will be added soon.

Exercises for Readers and Invitations to Writers

The poems would excel through their definitions beauty, their gimmick.For example, find a title for each of the following 13 distiches:

Inconsolable / Consoler Seeming / UnseemlyThe most corrupts / Are those so called uncorruptedYoure playing / With are you screwing up yourself?Help me / By not helping meI drink , / And you get drunk!An intrinsic value / ExtrinsicallyIm drifting away / The nearness..Art is the reality / Of my imaginationA small beginning / For MUCHIll offer an advice to you: / Dont believe advices

I swear to you / On my lack of sweringsAngel / Diabolically

Reciprocally, create a definition (paradoxist distich) for each title [notion (or syntagma) =key]:MISTRESS, HOT, MARRIAGE BED, WITHOUT DISCRETION, LONGING TO GO,WHERE?, TO PRISON, TO REMEMBER, SINCE I WAS BORN, STRIPED, DEADDRUNK, BOO!, 13,which will be published in the next edition of the Paradoxism magazine.

Also, the author waits for Paradoxist Distiches, as well as essay about this poetry with fix

form, typed/computerized manuscripts, for the next anthology which will contain worldwide writers, in various languages. The contributors will receive a copy of thepublication containing their submissions.The authors intention is to materialize a Paradoxist dictionary/encyclopedia containingdistiches, classified by themes, key words, poets, and definition types.{Send your contributions at the address shown in preface.}
