The Forward

When I was first approached to write the Forward to this site, my immediate reaction was of deep humility, tinged with bewilderment. Indeed, I must confess that I have since endured endless pangs of heartfelt doubt as to my suitability for such a Herculean task; a doubt reinforced by the elusive quality which permeates the work itself. Never before have I felt so impelled to say of a site that it has a certain "je ne sais quoi". Put it another way, if it did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.

Every age produces its own Plato, its own Leonardo, its own Godot, its own Abbot and Costello, but here we are confronted by a work which defies classification, which cannot be confined in the strait-jacket of time, embedded in this padded cell we laughingly call the Universe. What can one say of a work of art which eschews the here and now, yet simultaneously transcends the Universal?

There is, there can only be, one honourable, if not unique course, I implore those of you who have stayed with me thus far (and that includes you) not to read the site text, but rather re-read the Forward. For this I am convinced will convey its true significance far better than the actual reading of the text. Indeed, even to embark on the latter course would be tantamount to voyeurism, an unwarranted and impudent intrusion, a veritable adulteration of this heady and potent brew, the pristine purity of which it is our duty to preserve at all costs.
