To all the writers of ToS:
I've been recently told about Neogongorism, a movement that was inspired by the figure of Luis de Gongora. Its peculiarity is that a large amount of twisted and cult vocabulary was used, and that they made large poems and texts to refer to a single thing. Thus makes this movement confusing, and practically unintelligible if you hadn't studied Art History. EG, we found a double metaphor. "Libya of ripples" referred to a "Desert of waves" and this ended up as a double metaphor referring to the sea. However, I was also told that to appreciate it, you need to get into the writers' mind. And I was challenged to make a short text of 100 words; with the sole condition of making it say exclusively "This flower is beautiful". Nothing else. So I began, but I was constantly interrupted: "No you can't say any other characteristics of it apart from its beauty" or "No, you can't say you picked it up and hold it to smell its aroma: just say it's a nice flower" I want to purpose you the same challenge. I bet most of you would give up at the 30th word.
