ritual is mechanical
yearning for wholeness
nothing places the picturesque
tinkering it requires

seen as a fragmentation of fragmentariness
engravings dem
ystify the art objectdream adapts the picturesque to a gothic eroticism
through a grotto
most of us feel uneasy with our culture's entrancing emblems of
wholeness.
