Joseph Conrad and Literature

Knowledge takes up no position, sets no store by form. It has compassion within the abyss—it is the abyss. So we reject it, firmly, and henceforth our concern shall be with beauty only. (G. Aschenbach, quoting Socrates’ words to Phaedrus, in Thomas Mann's Death in Venice. )
