"Now this has been standing here for centuries. The
premier work of man perhaps in the whole western world
and it's without a signature. Chartres. A celebration
to God's glory and to the dignity of man. All that's
left, most artists seem to feel these days, is man.
Naked, poor, forked radish. There aren't any
celebrations. Ours, the scientists keep telling us, is
a universe which is disposable. You know it might be
just this one anonymous glory of all things, this rich
stone forest, this epic chant, this gaiety, this grand
choiring shout of affirmation, which we choose when
all our cities are dust; to stand intact, to mark
where we have been, to testify to what we had it in us
to accomplish. Our works in stone, in paint, in print
are spared, some of them for a few decades, or a
millennium or two, but everything must fall in war or
wear away into the ultimate and universal ash: the
triumphs and the frauds, the treasures and the fakes.
A fact of life... we're going to die. 'Be of good
heart,' cry the dead artists out of the living past.
Our songs will all be silenced - but what of it? Go on
singing. Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that much."~Orson Wells (from his monolog on Chartres Cathedrial, from film "F for Fake")
