Night begins to muffle up the day.
— Withers, Mistresse of Philarete.
Do the identifications with fictions, the inner, tidal motions of pathos and libido which the novel, the film, the painting, the symphony unleash within us somehow immunize us against the humbler, less formed, but actual claims of suffering and of need in our surroundings?

George Steiner— Ch. 1 (p. 144)
