stimulated and informed by the art work. All the ideas
he associates with it - including one that has an
ominous tone of national socialism is the work (labor) of art - for these
tell him about himself , his concern is for how the ways in which the temple
is constructed stimulates certain thoughts - is an object of mediation and
perhaps meditation in other words - the Truth of/ in art is what it tells
us about our sense of self and its reality - for art is the object of our
meditation on what might come to be known - revealed
