Khlebnikov - Odinokii litsedei

[Alexandra Smith]

Dear Robert,

I totally agree with Olga's comment. I would have read it the same way  
(on both levels: the specific one and the broader one).
I think that it's an example of Khlebnikov's spatial imagination that  
presents sounds and words in a metalinguistic way. There is an  
interesting article written by Kedrov that explains some aspects of  
Khlebnikov's vision:

All best,
Sasha
