If music affects snakes, it is not on account of the spiritual notions it offers them, but because snakes are long and coil their length upon the earth, because their bodies touch the earth at almost every point; and because the musical vibrations which are communicated to the earth affect them like a very subtle, very long massage; and I propose to treat the spectators like the snake-charmer’s subjects and conduct them by means of their organisms to an apprehension of the subtlest notions.

—Artaud

What seems paradoxical about everything that is justly called beautiful is the fact that it appears.

—Benjamin
