Једна звезда по мени ће се звати,
јер исто је певати и сијати.
А star will be named after me,
because singing and shining are the same thing.

ETHERISM & POETIC RITUALS
The name is intentionally chosen. It’s a way to combine my various areas of knowledge. Yet, here, once again, poetry, or poeticness, remains my primary focus. I have nothing against science or other arts, but writing poetry is a "creative" act, divine in nature, and serves to create and change the world (into the World) and convey deeper knowledge. In this sense, even Aristotle was wrong when he claimed in his Poetics that literature was "more philosophical" than historiography, but still beneath philosophy. Indeed, the first philosophies were in verse, in meter. Besides meaning, their sound, tonal quality was also important—more mnemonically powerful, it transmits knowledge while simultaneously invoking and awakening it, not remaining at the intellectual level alone, but extending to the soul, the spirit, the emotional, and even physical knowledge and memory.
