“They will mark the stone-battlements
And the circle of them
With a bright stain.
They will cast out the dead
A sight for Priams queen to lament
And her frightened daughters.”
—Hilda Doolittle (18861961)
“To love something as an artist ... means to be shaken not by its ultimate value or lack of value, but by a side of it that suddenly opens up. Where art has value it shows things that few have seen. Its conquering, not pacifying.”
—Robert Musil (18801942)
