Umberto Eco, R.I.P.

One of my heroes, Umberto Eco, has passed.


Rem tene, verba sequentur: grasp the subject, and the words will follow. This, I believe, is the opposite of what happens with poetry, which is more a case of verba tene, res sequenter: grasp the words, and the subject will follow.

Umberto Eco
