Was Paul M's Eagleton tidbit on THE UNCONSCIOUS

[David Morris]

Unconscious, for Jung is All.  All is beyond knowing.  Moses went blind,
for a while, after glimpsing G-d's passing butt.

In that framework, art bubbles up from the deep, and can't be stopped.  But
it will always be unexpected, a shock, disruptive.

We will never see the unseeable, but, if we're lucky/doomed it might glance
by us, nearly seen.

Getting too close to the gods is dangerous.
