...Your] impatience is palpable in your e-mail messages, and we wish we could settle all these important issues quickly,” Dienstag wrote, “but arriving at ultimate policies is a delicate enterprise, complicated in no small way by ongoing investigation, parallel efforts at the hospitals to address COI, and the University’s commitment to overseeing the process centrally...

Underneath the vibrant, tongue-in-cheek surfaces of his work, Klee created a parallel universe, one in which he tried to capture and interpret almost every aspect of human existence, including its dark side. He once famously claimed: "I cannot be grasped in the here and now. For I reside just as much with the dead as with the unborn."
