From William Deresiewicz, “Thirteen Ways of Looking at Art” (Salmagundi ):
Art is for increasing life. That, I believe, after all the other purposes receive their due, is really what it’s for — why we revere it, why we give our hearts to it.

I liked that article---thanks for the link. And now do we "increase life"? he asks. "Attention, intensity."
Attention. Intensity.
Yes.
Those sentences seemed to me like an alternative to everything in the world today.
Yes, good point!
