...artists, or even their aim. As poets and painters have discovered over the centuries, hell is far more dramatic than heaven. Most painters look with an equal eye on both, as the fancy moves them. But some few, and among them some of the great, have had an ob session for the ugly, and seemed intent on making it uglier. Like T. S.
