Borges on Method
In a 1922 article published by the Argentinian magazine **Nosotros**, Jorge Luis Borgès summarized Ultraist goals thus: 1. Reduction of the lyric element to its primordial element, metaphor ; 2. Deletion of useless middle sentences, linking particles and adjectives ; 3. Avoidance of ornamental artifacts, confessionalism, circumstantiation, preaching and farfetched nebulosity ; 4. Synthesis of two or more images into one, thus widening its suggestiveness.
