when w. h. auden said âevil is unspectacular and always humanâ and ursula k. leguin said âthis is the great treason of the artist: a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of painâ
and also: âimaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.â â simone weil, tr. richard rees
