Beschreibung
Sky is the account of a bygone age in which an array of long-forgotten zealots and seekers propound contending visions of the firmament characterized in terms of gemstones peculiar to their schools. For many among them, the Sky is suggestive of an unnerving intruder mysteriously withholding itself in their midst like a speechless stranger, spurring unease unless it is tamed by an ingenious, if unconscious, dialectics. For others it hints of limitless splendor, no less mysterious and overwhelming, yet which they welcome as the benign otherness ushered in upon them by the sky-bearing lovers in their presence. And so begin the exchanges between those of profound learning in search of what terrestrial metal, jewel, or gemstone best distils and fixes the essence of Sky and those of rawer sensibility who seek its true meaning with an instinctive ardor making up for their want in erudition. Much of the material here will be foreign to contemporary sensibility and likely to exude a quaintness that may well elicit an indulgent smirk from those of us belonging to an age - an enlightened age - that has long since consigned abstruse meditations and reveries such as these to oblivion. That may well be, but whilst we might laud ourselves on having transcended much of the unsophisticated mindset witnessed in these pages it nonetheless remains a truism that only by reacquainting ourselves with the past can we hope to understand the present, and, indeed, orient ourselves toward the future.
