Iain Sinclair Quotes
I Mean That Certain Fictions, Chiefly Conan Doyle, Stevenson, But Many Others Also, Laid Out A Template That Was More Powerful Than Any Local Documentary Account - The Presences That They Created, Or "figures" If You Prefer It, Like Rabbi Loew's Golem, Became Too Much And Too Fast To Be Contained Within The Conventional Limits Of That Fiction. They Got Out Into The Stream Of Time, The Ether; They Escaped Into The Labyrinth. They Achieved An Independent Existence.
The Writers Were Mediums; They Articulated, They Gave A Shape To Some Pattern Of Energy That Was Already Present. They Got In On The Curve Of Time, So That By Writing, By Holding Off The Inhibiting Reflex Of The Rational Mind, They Were Able To Propose A Text That Was Prophetic.
