When the world's chaos leaves us beyond words, it's a natural impulse to search for them elsewhere; in this case, to seek them in how great thinkers and artists have described chaos itself."There are places for chaos on the page," wrote poet Stanley Moss."Chaos is endless longing." Bob Dylan once wrote,"I accept chaos. I'm not sure whether it accepts me.
Shelley is far from alone in her co-location of creativity with chaos. James Baldwin rendered this tension in prescient terms in his 1962 essay,"The Creative Process":"A society must assume that it is stable," wrote Baldwin,"but the artist must know, and he must let us know, that there is nothing stable under heaven." After this week, surely many around the world have received Baldwin's message and taken it to heart.
