Cf. "I have nothing to say and I am saying it -- and that's poetry" J. Cage
(anyone has the complete text?)
Incidentally, on a slightly related note, M. L. Pratt interprets Julio
Cortazar's short story 'Blow-up' as a _flout_ to Grice's cooperative principle:
"The narrator of Julio Cortazar's story 'Blow-up' (1959)
spends his first few pages wondering if he has anything
at all to communicate and wishing the typewriter could
be entrusted to produce the text without his intervention."
Cheers,
JL
