Nymphs finding the head of Orpheus (1900)
by John William Waterhouse
“There emerges the most striking contradiction, interior to each person. On one hand, this small, limited, and inexplicable existence, wherein we have felt like an exile, a butt both of jokes and of the immense absurdity that is the world, cannot resolve to give up the game; on the other hand, it heeds the urgent call to forget its limits.”
— Georges Bataille, “The Cruel Practice of Art”

Gospel with silver cover. Armenia, 13th century manuscript, cover made in 1691.
"The Key to the highest and divine philosophy of the mysterious powers of nature is reason. The brighter the sun of reason shines, the more powerful will the intellect grow, and the easier will it become for us to accomplish even the most wonderful things. But if the intellect is in the bonds of flesh, if it cannot overcome the errors received by inheritance and false education, it will be unable to penetrate into the divine mysteries of nature and God."
— Cornelius Agrippa
