Zadie Smith on what art is for. (New York Review)
“Its distance from the prerogatives of the powerful is precisely where its force of resistance lies. And if Forster could insist on something like this vision of art in the wreckage of World War II, then that is the very least I can do now.
[…]
I am on the wrong side of history and always will be, along with any artist who reserves the right to make art for her own sake, for the sake of art itself, and for the sake of her fellow humans.”

dissolve into ether
Taking Love and melancholy

To return to
this world
