From the weblog of David Lavery, literature, film, and television scholar/critic, now teaching at Middle Tennessee State University–
Lavery’s quote of the day (6/27/09)-
“Art is based on second love, not first love. In it we make a return to something which we had willfully alienated. The child is occupied mostly with things, but it is because he is still unfurnished with systematic ideas, not because he is a ripe citizen by nature and comes already trailing clouds of glory. Images are clouds of glory for the man who has discovered that ideas are a sort of darkness.”
–John Crowe Ransom
