A Black Hole



We are once again living in an eschatological and apocalyptic era...[in which] it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine a different and better one.

~ Peter Thompson, cited in Stanley Corngold's intellectual biography of Walter Kaufmann (p. 23).

Conrad's Art As Mystical Theology



A work that aspires, however humbly, to the condition of art should carry its justification in every line. And art itself may be defined as a single-minded attempt to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe, by bringing to light the truth, manifold and one, underlying its every aspect.

~ Joseph Conrad, Preface to The Nigger of the "Narcissus"
