Spectra : a book of poetic experiments by Emanuel Morgan

Description

Excerpt from Spectra: A Book of Poetic Experiments It may be noted that to Spectra, to these re ﬂected experiences of life, as we perceive them, adheres often a tinge of humor. Occidental art, in contrast to art in the Orient, has until lately been afraid of the ﬂash of humor in its serious works. But a growing acquaintance with Chinese painting is surely liberating in our poets and painters a happy sense of the disproportion of man to his assumed place in the universe, a sense of the show more tortuous grotesque vanity of the individual. By this weapon, man helps defend his intuition of the Absolute and of his own obscure but real relation to it.
