And this is the simple truth - that to live is to feel oneself lost. he who accepts it has already begun to find himself, to be on firm ground. instinctively, as do the shipwrecked, he will look around for something to which to cling, and that tragic, ruthless glance, absolutely sincere, because it is a question of his salvation, will cause him to bring order into the chaos of his life. these are the only genuine ideas; the ideas of the shipwrecked. all the rest is rhetoric, posturing, farce.

Pictures are the idea in visual or pictorial form; and the idea has to be legible, both in the individual picture and in the collective context - which presupposes, of course, that words are used to convey information about the idea and the context. however, none of this means that pictures function as illustrations of an idea: ultimately, they are the idea. nor is the verbal formulation of the idea a translation of the visual: it simply bears a certain resemblance to the meaning of the idea. it is an interpretation, literally a reflection.

All pantheism must ultimately be shipwrecked on the inescapable demands of ethics, and then on the evil and suffering of the world. if the world is a theophany , then everything done by man, and even by animal, is equally divine and excellent; nothing can be more censurable and nothing more praiseworthy than anything else; hence there is no ethics.

Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. in every now, being begins; round every here rolls the sphere there. the center is everywhere. bent is the path of eternity.
