This is a very irrational statement but it captures instantly this peculiar quality in an illogical world. A title like From Cliche to Archetype is simply a way of drawing attention to the fact that simultaneously, the most profound things and the most superficial things are the same. And when you scrap nature, you retrieve the most ancient forms of cliches from the world of the unconscious, and the world of the occult.
