Tolstoy: What is Art? Chapter 5

What is Art? Chapter 5

To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself then, by means of movements, lines, colors, sounds, or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling—this is the activity of art.

Art is a human activity, consisting in this, that one man consciously, by means of certain external signs, hands on to others feelings he has lived through, and that other people are infected by these feelings, and also experience them.

And I lay by the ocean
Makin’ love to her with visions clear
Walked the days with no one near
And I return as chained and bound to you

Malcolm Nance is at it again—this time reading Trump’s troop movements as a setup for a Greenland play, with the Minnesota alert framed as misdirection. It’s classic Nance: maximalist, worst‑case, every signal a prelude to something larger. Just… keep in mind, it’s Malcolm Nance.
