"Phenomena need not be saved by grace or faith or all-embracing theory . . . They are saved by our simple gasping at their imaginal loveliness. The AHH of wonder, of recognition. The aesthetic response SAVES the phenomenon, the phenomenon which is the face of the world . . . So we seek lovers and mentors and friends that we may be seen, and blessed."
James Hillman
