“My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel — it is, before all, to make you see. That — and no more, and it is everything. If I succeed, you shall find there according to your deserts: encouragement, consolation, fear, charm — all you demand; and, perhaps, also that glimpse of truth for which you have forgotten to ask.”

Great insight Haku
I believe that Joseph Conrad lived up to his words. Anyone who reads The Heart Of Darkness written in 1899 will attest that all attributes of life unfold in the literary motif of words and remarkably still reflects the surreal post-modern world in which we live
That quote adds up to: Wake up now. -Merlyn Aya
