On the Obscurity of Human Perception

Pudor de la Putrefacció del Fetge, a long-forgotten Catalan dadaist poet of the 1920s wrote this haunting epigram on the obscurity of human perception in 1923.

Mentre jo era a casa del psiquiatre, el meu cul va caure. Vaig pensar que era gangrena,
Però ell em va dir que era el meu inseguretat fonamental.

While I was at the psychiatrist's, my posterior fell off. I thought it was gangrene,
But he told me it was my fundamental insecurity.
