“It must be said that today we must understand the sublime differently; we must strip this notion of its neoclassical pomposity, its Alpine swelling, its theatrical exaggeration; today, the sublime is first and foremost an experience of the mystery of the world, a metaphysical shiver, a great surprise, a dazzlement and a sensation of being close to the ineffable.”
Adam Zagajewski, Polish poet, novelist and essayist
