Dylanism

The act of adding poetic beauty and/or deeper meaning to a sentence or phrase. Similar to the ways of Bob Dylan.

Evey Hammond: Who are you?

V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.

Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.

V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.

- V for Vendetta (movie quote example of Dylanism)
