Or Art and Creation
Quote from the article instead of content
When I think of the relationship between a work and the truth, I think of a poem by Attila József, and I agree with him:
“You know this well: the poet never lies,
The real is not enough; through its disguise
Tell us the truth which fills the mind with light
Because, without each other, all is night.”
(Attila József, Welcome to Thomas Mann, Translated by Vernon Watkins)
