Austin Osman Spare ... Ugly Ecstasy ...Satyr...
from the Book of Ugly Ecstasy 1924 - Fulgur 1996
it would be sentimental to say that the figures in Ugly Ectasy and Automatic Drawings
are happy despite theirhideous appearances....in the words of WH Audens poem, 'In Memory of Sigmund Freud' -
Down among the lost people like Dante, down
To the stinking fosse where the injured
Lead the ugly life of the rejected.
Nevertheless, Spare signed off Automatic Drawing on a defiant and innuendo-laden note: "Great is he who pleasures this difficult life," he wrote, and "He has found wisdom who knows how to spend"*
*Victorian euphemism for ejaculation.

The Psychology of Believing.
If the "supreme belief" remains unknown, believing is fruitless. If "the truth" has not yet been ascertained, the study of knowledge is unproductive. Even if "they" were known their study is useless. We are not the object by the perception, but by becoming it. Closing the gateways of sense is no help. Verily I will make common-sense the foundation of my teaching. Otherwise, how can I convey my meaning to the deaf, vision to the blind, and my emotion to the dead? In a labyrinth of metaphor and words, intuition is lost, therefore without their effort must be learned the truth about one's self from him who alone knows the truth . . . . yourself.

Jean Gabriel Daragnes (French, 1886-1950)...Woodcuts...Satyr
two scans from a favourite book "The Modern Woodcut" by Herbert Furst
on one of my favourite obsessions... Le Satyre
Here illustrating Paul Claudel's "Protee"
Daragnes also illustrated Oscar Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol" Gerard de Nerval's "Main Enchantee" and Poe's "Raven" to name a few
.
..let there be darkness as I await my portion in which will be created from my soul the drop ready to fall in its greatest heaviness. Let me offer a libation to you in the shadows, like the mountain spring that offers drink to the Ocean in its little shell!
Paul Claudel
