ArtThings are not all so comprehensible and expressible as one would most — Art
"Things are not all so comprehensible and expressible as one would mostly have us believe; most events are inexpressible, taking place in a realm which no word has ever entered, and more inexpressible than all else are works of art, mysterious existences, the life of which, while ours passes away, endures."

Yes, it might feel like you’re conquering death when you play that song, paint that picture, compose that poem, or type that story.

But the feeling is illusory, Orpheus tells us. The feeling is, after all, just a feeling."
