Solzhenitsyn on Art and Glimpsing the Inaccessible

Art can warm even a chilled and sunless soul to an exalted spiritual experience. Through art we occasionally receive— indistinctly, briefly—revelations the likes of which cannot be achieved by rational thought. It is like that small mirror of legend: you look into it, but instead of yourself you glimpse for a moment the Inaccessible, a realm forever beyond reach. And your soul begins to ache.

― Alexander Solzhenitsyn in his Nobel Lecture
