Sorry, are you saying that poetry and works of art are two different things?
When did HEGEL say art was dead rather, as I had thought, that art was in a state of dissolution,
being only a stage?
Further, have you not thought that the flighht of the gods, the darkening etc, is in turn necessary
for truth as aletheia, for truth is not something continually held on to, at least as i saw it...
