"...all metaphysical and poetic creations of mankind are but powerful and wonderful reactions of the impulse for self-preservation against the cramping, depressing feeling of human insufficiency."

William Worringer, Form in Gothic

"Cada necio / Confunde valor i precio"
(Every dolt / confuses value with price.")

Antonio Machado, Proverbios y Decires

J.T. Pescador, "Ignotus," May 2000
