    EPIGRAPH: For the present age, which prefers the picture to the thing pictured, the copy to the original, imagination to reality, or the appearance to the essence... illusion alone is sacred to this age, but truth profane... so that the highest degree of illusion is to it the highest degree of sacredness.
