The fundamental human imaginative act is to see the other, to guess what the other needs, to engage with the other, to be the other, and to make thereby our own selves. Through this empathy, our fear of deep night gives way to a chastened sadness, an understanding of the poignancy of our situation. Expression is all, and yet life flows through and falls from us like a dream.
