It is the absolute duty of the Artist to refuse to succumb to fear or despair
No, really.
We don't have many absolute duties, but this is one. We who create cannot be cowed by those who destroy. Ever.
I was a composer and charcoal sketcher in Allston for several years there, and I still love Boston with all of my being, but this affects all of us. Every act of destruction must become a call to creation. We must all make a work now.
