Will Lewis
William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
peace perfect would-be
If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honored, pursue their trade without further trouble.
waste abundance
Where there is abundance you can afford waste.
depressing cities mind
The streets of a modern city are depressing. They are so aimless and so weak in their lines and their masses, that the mind and senses jog on their way like passengers in a train with blinds down in an overcrowded carriage.
teacher mind doe
The teacher does not have to be, although he has to know: he is the mind imagining, not the executant.
zero artist car
What every artist should try to prevent is the car, in which is our civilized life, plunging over the side of the precipice -- the exhibitionist extremist promoter driving the whole bag of tricks into a nihilistic nothingness or zero.
practice discipline perception
Lewis sought no disciples, nor does he offer a program or solution, rather his contribution is a critical discipline. Lewis is a stimulant, a mode of perception, rather than a position or practice.
laughter self tragedy
Laughter is the climax in the tragedy of seeing, hearing and smelling self-consciously.
anomalies coats top-hats
Lenin in a top hat and frock coat would be a far greater anomaly than the Grand Lama of Thibet or a Zulu chief in that costume.
laughter independent important
Laughter is an independent, tremendously important, and lurid emotion.
ideas clothes arbitrary
The ideas of a time are like the clothes of a season: they are as arbitrary, as much imposed by some superior will which is seldom explicit.
organization weakness should
Instead of the vast organization to exploit the weakness of the Many, should we not possess one for the exploitation of the intelligence of the Few?
love suicide giving-up
To give up another person's love is a mild suicide; like a very bad inoculation as compared to the full disease.
gun austerity path
So-called austerity, the stoic injunction, is the path towards universal destruction. It is the old, the fatal, competitive path. Pull in your belt is a slogan closely related to gird up your loins, or the guns-butter metaphor.
queens adequate firsts
For the first rate poet, nothing short of a Queen or a Chimera is adequate for the powers of his praise.
