The dialectics of reason and the dialectics of imagination

Gaston Bachelard writes:

Here we can grasp the difference between the dialectics of reason, which juxtaposes contradictions in order to cover the entire range of possibilities, and the dialectics of imagination, which would seize all that is real, and finds more reality in what is hidden than in what is visible.

Now that everything is yet again exploding, injuring, destroying/ now that the fear's becoming solid, liquid, thick, drowning/ now that everything is already too late/ now we too are too late.

עכשיו כשהכל שוב גועש, פוגע, הורס/ עכשיו כשהפחד מתמצק, נוזל, סמיך, מטביע/ עכשיו כשהכל כבר מאוחר מידי/ עכשיו גם אנחנו מאוחר מידי.
