"The first ancient function of the word 'abracadabra' as a magic formula disappeared altogether and its only meaning is now 'meaningless wordflood' or something of the sort.
We consider a combination of the two significations as a pertinent emblem of certain ways of making poetry."

Marcello Angioni (Reprinted from Abracadabra 2)
