Hart Crane's "Logic of Metaphor"
As a poet, I may very possibly be more interested in the so-called illogical impingements of the connotations of words on the consciousness (and their combinations and interplay in metaphor on this basis) than I am interested in the preservation of their logically rigid significations...[A metaphor's] apparent illogic operates so logically in conjunction with its context in the poem as to establish its claim to another logic.
This is also present in film. Most recently I saw Synedoche starring Seymour Hoffman. It reminded me of this post.
