Bob Jude Ferrante’s New Theory of Vision

By Susan Bernfield

Venice Saved: A Seminar

By Gary Winter

“The beauty of the world is the mouth of a labyrinth. The incautious person, who, having entered, takes a few steps, is after some time unable to find his way back...If he doesn’t lose courage, if he continues to walk, it is absolutely certain that he will arrive at the center of the labyrinth. And there, God is waiting to eat him.” —Simone Weil
