Why Melancholy?
"I can now add another threat, perhaps as dangerous as the most apocalyptic of concerns. We are possibly not far away from eradicating a major cultural force, a serious inspiration to invention, the muse behind much art and poetry and music. We are wantonly hankering to rid the world of numerous ideas and visions, multitudinous innovations and meditations. We are right at this moment annihilating melancholia." – Eric G. Wilson, from Against Happiness: In Praise of Melancholy (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
