Celine was a great prose poet. Almost every single page from Journey has a beautiful and electrifying poetic epigram.

Emily Dickinson defined poetry with these words:

>“If I read a book and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can ever warm me, I know that is poetry. If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry. These are the only ways I know it. Is there any other way?”

I felt like that almost constantly while reading this novel.
