“No other sun has lightened up my heaven,
No other star has ever shone for me;
All my life’s bliss from thy dear life was given,
All my life’s bliss is in the grave with thee.”

“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
