masks are not to blame ... Notes

"Masks are arrested expressions and admirable echoes of feeling, at once faithful, discreet, and superlative. Living things in contact with the air must acquire a cuticle, and it is not urg ed against cuticles that they are not hearts; yet some philosophers seem to be angry with images for not being things, and with words fo r not being feelings. Word and images are li ke shells, no less integral parts of nature than are the substances they cover, but better addressed to the eye and more open to observation. I would not say that substance exists for the sake of appearance, or faces for the sak e of masks, or the passions for the sake of poetry and virtue. Nothing arises in nature for the s ake of anything else; all these phases and products are involved equally in the round of existence, and it would be sheer wilfulness to praise the germinal phase on the ground that it is vital, and to denounce the explicit phase on the ground that it is dead and sterile".

George Santayana
, en Soliloquies in England and Later Soliloquies (1922)


Dedicado a José Antonio Fernández de Rota , who taught me to understand ideas like this, that everything "is", no matter the subject of what is done (shell, smoke, desire, dream, plastic, lie possibility ...).

[The masks are fixed expressions and admirable echoes of feelings, at once faithful, discreet, and superlative. Living things in contact with air must acquire a cuticle, and no one blames cuticles than hearts, however, some philosophers seem to bear a grudge against the images not being things, and words not to be feelings. Words and images are like shells, integral parts of nature as well as substances that line, but aimed more directly in the eye and more open to observation. I would not say there is substance to enable the appearance or to allow faces masks, or to allow the passions of poetry and virtue. Nothing arises in nature to enable another thing, all these phases and products are involved equally in the cycle of existence, and would be a complete stubbornness praise the germinal stage in the soil to be vital, and acknowledge the explicit phase in the soil from dead and sterile.]
