The Politics of Metaphor by Michael Benedikt

For a full-grown mole, the future has never begun to exist apart as a form of thought; and thought has never begun to exist except as a form of metaphor. Even for a mole in his final circle of tunnels, there is always one more larger, more generous set of relevances into which all previous relevances fit.
