    EPIGRAPH: So with the faulty image as a start We come at length to analyse and name The luminous darkness in the depths of art: The timelessness that holds us is the same As that of the transcendent sexual glance And art grows brilliant in the light it sheds, Direct or not, on the inhabitants Of our imagination and our beds.
