Art makes murder into the supreme image of Beauty and in doi

Summary

This quote suggests that art has the power to transform something dark and violent, such as murder, into a captivating and aesthetically pleasing representation of beauty. By presenting murder as the highest form of artistic expression, it is implied that art allows the emergence of a vengeful and potentially destructive deity. It highlights the paradoxical nature of art, which can both exalt and unleash the darker aspects of human existence. Jean Lorrain's novel, "Le Vice Errant," likely delves into the complex relationship between art, beauty, and the exploration of forbidden or taboo themes.

It was very still. The tree was tall and straggling. It had thrown its briers over a hawthorn-bush, and its long streamers trailed thick, right down to the grass, splashing the darkness everywhere with great spilt stars, pure white. In bosses of ivory and in large splashed stars the roses gleamed on the darkness of foliage and stems and grass. Paul and Miriam stood close together, silent, and watched. Point after point the steady roses shone out to them, seeming to kindle something in their souls. The dusk came like smoke around, and still did not put out the roses.
