Words Beyond Meaning

It's about... well, I'm not really sure... Anyway, image was made by the Argentine artist Leon Ferrari and is called 'Letter to a General'. The writing is asemic, it has no semantic content, but it's far from meaningless. Ferrari claimed if the writing couldn't be read, he could say anything at all. A dangerous pastime in Argentina in the early '60s. So, once again, this summary is more interesting than the poem... sigh. No known copyright issues.
