Music,
states of happiness,
mythology,
faces belabored by time,
certain twilights
and
certain places
try to tell us something,
or have said something
we should not have missed,
or
are about to say something;

this imminence
of a revelation
which does not occur
is,
perhaps,
the aesthetic phenomenon.
