three odd words … three-odd …
The Three Oddest Words
When I pronounce the word Future,
the first syllable already belongs to the past.
When I pronounce the word Silence,
I destroy it.
When I pronounce the word Nothing,
I make something no non-being can hold.
(Wislawa Szymborska - trans. S. Baranczak & C. Cavanagh)
(Hannah Höch - “liebe” 1931)
