    Despite the hundreds of attempts, police terror and the concentration camps have proved to be more or less impossible subjects for the artist; since what happened to them was beyond the imagination, it was therefore also beyond art and all those human values on which art is traditionally based.
    A. Alvarez (b. 1929)

    I kept him for his humour’s sake,
    For he would oft beguile
    My heart of thoughts that made it ache,
    And force me to a smile.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
