Who said, " The universe is true for us all and dissimilar to each of us. If we were not obliged, to preserve the continuity of our story, to confine ourselves to frivolous reasons, how many more serious reasons would permit us to demonstrate the falsehood and flimsiness of the opening pages of this volume in which, from my bed, I hear the world awake, now to one sort of weather, now to another. Yes, I have been forced to whittle down the facts, and to be a liar, but it is not one universe, there are millions, almost as many as the number of human eyes and brains in existence, that awake every morning."?

Can anyone say "....what will be dead or alive tomorrow, in literature, philosophy, aesthetics...what ideas and modes of expression will be inscribed on the casualty list, what novelties will be proclaimed"?

simpleposie wants to know:

Would you say "The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."?

"What would criticism look like that would serve the work of art, not usurp its place?"

Besides ".... programmatic avant-gardism" is there any other "...defense against the infestation of art by interpretations"?

Have you ever thought of interpretation as "... revenge of the intellect upon art"?

simpleposie wants to know:

Do you view the interpretation of works of art as a means of "revising, of transvaluing of escaping the dead past"?Or do you consider interepretation "reactionary, impertinent, cowardly, stifling"?

Have you ever  felt "... an obligation to overthrow any means of defending and justifying art which becomes particularly obtuse or onerous or insensitive to contemporary needs and practice"?
