  1. The essay “In Praise of Shadows” by Jun'ichirō Tanizaki is relevant to my post yesterday about “mystery”. This essay describes aesthetic virtues of concealment and darkness. Dark nooks are all over the place at nighttime. But this mysterious darkness is there without being set up for aesthetic effect. That is, it is not a human's artwork. So why should we set up our own mysteries when Nature is already bursting with them?
