Art's Purpose

Some believe in Heaven, whereas others believe In nothing. Some go with the flow; others feel that Happiness is merely a pretty mask that hides The monstrous face of Hell. Sometimes things get so dark It's hard to believe in the Light. The ancient Greeks Dealt so well with great suffering, not by simply Avoiding it, but by transforming it through Art. O we modern types should learn from their example! We should create Art that enchants, but that is not Afraid to confront the abyss that scorns Creation.
