Immutable Essences by Audra Skuodas
Immutable Essences by Audra Skuodas Image: Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned away from silence. Every day he invents machines and gadgets that multiply noise and distract man from the essential in life, from reflection, from spiritual immersion. Motor car, airplane, radio, atom bomb are the latest great victories of progress. Man has nothing essential to do but he wants to do nothing with speed and superhuman noise. He wants to be distracted and fails to suspect that the robot who now holds the reins is driving him to the meaningless. In the midst of all horn blowing, howling, screeching, thundering, crashing, whistling and gnashing he feels confident His anxiety is calmed. His human emptiness grows like a monstrous grey plant. -- Jean Arp
