The voices are immortal as long as they are recorded, read, and recited. Literature. Literature is the bridge between spirit and matter, between the conscious and the collective unconscious. Language and its transformation into literature of every dialect and artistic form serves as a bridge between spirit and matter, and may conceal a hidden language or truth, one steeped in myth and archetype, but even more so, this hidden language may produce a kind of new cuneiform, like chevrons of sound waiting for translation into new meaning, something yet beyond our comprehension. I intend to discover and reveal this new meaning through the theories of Carl Jung, Jungian theorists, and literary scholars in the hope of edging or coaxing this new meaning from between the hidden lines of literary analysis. It might be prudent to first understand that Carl Jung may not have intended for his theories to be interpreted in this way, that is to say, as a tool for interpretation alone or a means to literary analysis exclusively based on psychological explication alone. He noted that his theoretical approach to poetical creativity is impossible to narrow down or quantify without the additional extrapolations of other literary critics. Jung (1966) alludes to this in The Spirit in Man, Art, and Literature when he presents his criticism as a study of " the human psyche " as " the womb of all the arts and sciences, but at the same time is fundamentally different between the approach of psychologist and literary critic (86-7). Jung indeed sees the ease in which literature can be interpreted through the lens of psychology, but also leaves room for literary criticism, aestheticism, philosophy, and philology in expounded interpretive meaning. What Jung may or may not have realized is that literary interpretation in all of the aforementioned interpretive methods that he didn't wish to step on in spite of his own, is more similar than different in that the central
