Chilling, as always, Bruce. Thanks for your continued sharing of the insidious cocktail, shaken not stirred. Drinks at the club? Wouldn't that be sooo jolly in this nihilistic descent. I'm forever taken back to the fin de siecle and its artistic and literary rebels bleeding into the new century. What a time that was... Dhiagilev, Nijinsky, Chagall, Stravinsky, Picasso, Joyce, on and on... Where are they now? Has the power of art and the artist vanished? I think not. Art is our final bastion, the power of the infinite through humble corpus, immeasurable, indefinable, without words, at times without mind, a purity untouched by nominal junkies of ratio and mekanik.
As for the end of WWII, well, it never really ended, did it...
