Like three impressions of the same seal, the word ought to produce the idea, and the idea to be a picture of the fact.”

“The Impossible Banquet by Stewart Stafford
Awakened by a stinging sun,
Radiant wings of flame and gold,
I breathe in dawn’s virgin hopes,
With icy shards of doubting cold.
Am I not my parents' child?
Lost my way on a freedom roam,
Invitation to a tempting feast,
Over family, love, and home.
Trapped within the world's crosshairs,
Locked down with time to burn,
Casting runestones, but too late,
For visible escape, I yearn.
An obsessive lady by my side,
A judge of karma infernal,
She took my life with her own hand,
Bequeathing a wound eternal.
Tomorrow’s hopes are now a ghost,
No merciful release to illuminate,
I wish to scrub away the past,
A vain rebirth to change my fate.
But I’m caught in the Reaper's maw,
I weep for you who procrastinate,
Sold my soul on Devil's Bridge,
Then dragged through a fiery gate.
Hope, community, society crash,
Towering feats of grotesquery,
You may not grieve for me who's gone,
Time's cruel critic is all you see.

“The Impossible Will Not always Only be Possible If we Ourselves Create IT.”
“The imposter's long, sturdy traveling cloak covered plain, dark, modest traveling clothes. Like the duchess, she was tall and well-rounded, and she spoke with the duchess's aristocratic accent. Also like the duchess, she wore her black hair smoothed back from her face.
Yet for the discerning eye, the differences were obvious. The imposter had a sweeter, rounder face, dominated by large blue eyes striking in their serenity. Her voice was husky, warm, rich. Her hands rested calmly at her waist, and she moved with serene grace, not at all with the brisk certainty of the duchess. She was slow to smile, slow to frown, and never laughed with glorious freedom. Indeed, she seemed to weigh each emotion before allowing it egress, as if sometime in the past every drop of impulsiveness had been choked from her. It wasn't that she was morose, but she was observant, composed, and far too quiet.”

“The impresario function is about intervening with the company's more administrative management structure. It is about trying to establish a sense of boundaries and budgets and milestones and so forth on a project that does not necessarily lend itself to milestones. It is about translating between the intimate interior environment of the creative work team and the company's need to make money. And finally, it is about positioning the fruits of the creative process in the marketplace and selling them.”
“The impresario functions as a bridge and a translator. He or she is a bridge between the creative point of view - which is often very focused on the creative task itself - and the resource-allocation process. The impresario has to make certain the funds and people required to get that task completed are available.”
“The impresario's job is to pick the right people who can pick the right people. He picks the people who can pick artists and relate to them. People who know what the market craves.”
“The impression forces itself upon one that men measure by false standards, that everyone seeks power, success, riches for himself, and admires others who attain them, while undervaluing the truly precious thing in life.”

“The impression given us by a person or a work (or an interpretation of a work) of marked individuality is peculiar to that person or work. We have brought with us the ideas of “beauty,” “breadth of style,” “pathos” and so forth which we might at a pinch have the illusion of recognising in the banality of a conventional face or talent, but our critical spirit has before it the insistent challenge of a form of which it possesses no intellectual equivalent, in which it must disengage the unknown element. It hears a sharp sound, an oddly interrogative inflexion. It asks itself: “Is that good? Is what I am feeling now admiration? Is that what is meant by richness of colouring, nobility, strength?” And what answers it again is a sharp voice, a curiously questioning tone, the despotic impression, wholly material, caused by a person whom one does not know, in which no scope is left for “breadth of interpretation.” And for this reason it is the really beautiful works that, if we listen to them with sincerity, must disappoint us most keenly, because in the storehouse of our ideas there is none that responds to an individual impression.”
