For example,inthebinaryoppositiontall/short,theindividualtermstallandshortdonotbythemselves meananything. Tall isnotanabsolutemeasure.someoneorsomethingcanonlybetallwhenitis not short orwhenitis lessshortthan something andsomethingcanonlybeshort when it is nottall. Similarly,nothingisApollonianbyitself,butonlyincontrasttosomethingDionysianor lessapollonian. So, to use the above example, Wordsworth s contemplative creative process does not embody the Apollonianinitself,butisApollonianinrelationtoPlato sdionysiandivineinspiration,andviceversa. Inotherwords,theprocessofpoeticcreationaccordingtoWordsworthismoreApollonianthanitisin Plato s interpretation. What I m trying to illustrate here is that any given value, is not absolutely Apollonian/Dionysian,butApollonian/Dionysianinrelationto(orinoppositionto)anothervalue AsI vementionedbefore,itispossibletolookatthedifferenterasinthehistoryoflittheoryasasort of pendulum swinging back and forth between the Apollonian/Dionysian.
