All the length of the body,
all of its parts and functions
were participating, realized,
inseparable from the mind, and
everything that the mind touched
was actuality, all, everything,
turned immediately into truth,
which in its very nature is joy,
which must be the end of art,
and of all anyhow human existence.
—slightly-manipulated words of James Agee, from "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men."
