Dear Ken,

Speaking of quotations on the walls:

When the great innovation appears, it will almost certainly be in a muddled, incomplete and confusing form. To the discoverer himself it will be only half understood; to everybody else it will be a mystery. For any speculation which does not at first glance look crazy, there is no hope,

Freeman J. Dyson

Sci. Amer. Sept 58

Of course he is speaking of scientific discovery, with special reference to Faraday and others, But in the arts this principle is obscured by the fact that most artists work with less innovation than they believe, and therefore understand more fully what they are doing. The others who intend to be obscure are not actually innovating. The small percentage of artists who are actually innovating and whose work is not made up of known materials have this problem as stated. They do not fully understand what they are creating* I would prefer to be in this last group, but with as much understanding, within this statement, as the really creative scientist has of his orientation in his science. I.e., I would like to know where my self knowledge is insufficient, and able to handle that unknown with an understanding of its unknowableness,.,
