The term 'the American Left' is as near to being meaningless or nonsensical as any term could really be in politics. It isn't really a force in politics anymore. And it would do well to ask itself why that is.
Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.
All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
