RE: Happy Birthday, Dear Complicated Nietzsche

in #esteem5 years ago

Oh, yeah, Wilde is a 'flippant genius' but, beneath the cynicism and dangerous games with truth, he was a force to reckon with. That's why his plays work and captivate, because you sense the seriousness behind them, the thinker behind the clown mask...

Thank you, for reading and taking time to comment. Your thoughts the other day about why you art were very compelling (sorry I did not write, was feeling worded out :)

Sort:  

"dangerous games with truth" "force to reckon with" "thinker behind the clown mask" - reminds me that genius is a great power and potentially a dangerous one. Seems that he straddled that line of brilliant illumination and danger.

"worded out" - I have complete reverence and respect for the silence needed to regenerate, no apology needed.

Thanks, for your understanding _/|\_

Yes, all art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their own peril, as Wilde said.

Certainly, art is power and blessing, and if not directed towards service can be corrupting to both artist and audience.

Thank you, for the Beauty you put out into the world.
