Culture Arises And Unfolds In

History, As The Study Of The Past, Makes The Coherence Of What Happened Comprehensible By Reducing Events To A Dramatic Pattern And Seeming Them In A Simple Form.

History Can Predict Nothing Except That Great Changes In Human Relationships Will Never Come About In The Form In Which They Have Been Anticipated.

The Susceptibility Of The Average Modern To Pictorial Suggestion Enables Advertising To Exploit His Lessened Power Of Judgment.

If A Serious Statement Is Defined As One That May Be Made In Terms Of Waking Life, Poetry Will Never Rise To The Level Of Seriousness. It Lies Beyond Seriousness, On That More Primitive And Original Level Where The Child, The Animal, The Savage, And The Seer Belong, In The Region Of Dream, Enchantment, Ecstasy, Laughter. To Understand Poetry We Must Be Capable Of Donning The Child's Soul Like A Magic Cloak And Of Forsaking Man's Wisdom For The Child's.

Culture Must Have Its Ultimate Aim In The Metaphysical Or It Will Cease To Be Culture.
