The imposition of "free from supernatural and mystical elements" is, I'm afraid, a rather broad restriction, especially when one considers, Addison, as you say, love and art "in that order!" This kind of limitation is not only restrictive, it is as equally as broad a net as Bright, and the Spanish Inquisition could drive a trolley of roasting heretics into it. It is the proverbial "slippery slope" and creates the very problems it seeks to solve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20588196.post-1163683032122065212006-11-16T08:17:00.000-05:002006-11-16T08:17:00.000-05:00Art is not so much unknown as more than rational. ...Art is not so much unknown as more than rational. Superrational. This, it seems to me, would disqualify it from the Brights' Net. Dada was reasonable about this. Surrealism let it be what it was.

Not ironic at all of course, because that what happens every time.
