Wonderful piece.

A metaphor that has always stuck with me is that of the British philosopher Roger Scruton. He compared art today to monks copying books during the dark ages. Without knowing if it would turn out well or where it would ever lead, but in the hope that they were saving something important. (The metaphor is quite dramatic, but always appealed to me.)

Thank you Frederik. A beautiful read on a rainy Saturday morning in DC.
