Description
In the beginning was the word. Words created the world. Human beings were given the right to name the world. We created languages, words and sentences, and meanings. Out of words and sentences we created stories, stories about reality, out of our imagination. These stories were passed from generation to generation, and later written down, The spoken word was exchanged for written text.
