I Would Simply Ask Why So Many Critics, So Many Writers, So Many Philosophers Take Such Satisfaction In Professing That The Experience Of A Work Of Art Is Ineffable, That It Escapes By Definition All Rational Understanding; Why Are They So Eager To Concede Without A Struggle The Defeat Of Knowledge; And Where Does Their Irrepressible Need To Belittle Rational Understanding Come From, This Rage To Affirm The Irreducibility Of The Work Of Art, Or, To Use A More Suitable Word, Its Transcendence.
