Re: french take
Ramoss points out:
if it goes too far, then they wouldn't be able to do their art anyway.
Like the western world's prototypical starving artist, Vincent Van Gogh, who ended his life too soon for us in this world, but too late for his own mind.
There are many - and I am one - who wish our insanity was so much the stronger to help find the path to our own unimpeded artistic nature. It is as if I see the truly insane as having some great secret conduit to a brilliant, gleaming torch of light, burning with intensity we others can only dream of, albeit so short the flame. They are truly at the battle line, pushing the envelope, where the rest of us wait and see. Soldiers, every one of them.
