Some of the most interesting thought pieces offered hereabouts in months. The Sontag piece is a gem. Her rare ability to "think." And a potent reminder of what Bergman was doing in 'The Silence' -- both manipulation, and the reach for what is beynd language. What the spirit wants to hold and say and cannot. Also useful and memorable to me is, this quote :" the efficacious art work leaves silence in its wake." This puts the lie to works that babble and leave babble in their wake. what a huge difference. Again, many thanks for these. margo Thanks SO much. Some of the most interesting thought pieces offered hereabouts in months.

I'll be chewing up the Sontag with apres-diner, um (glances around) apples and pipes. Thanx 4 the linx - good to get around a bit away from one's own beaten trax. P Monkey exorcists by the hundreds!
