	46. Sarah McLachlan - Fumbling Toward Ecstasy
		Fumbling Towards Ecstasy spotlights McLachlan coming into her own as both a songwriter and a compelling lyricist.
		Without much initial radio help, Fumbling can be credited as the album that catapulted Sarah McLachlan from Canadian superstar into the American mainstream, drawing audiences in with her raw honesty and sultry whispers that often work up to a deep, from-the-gut belting out of emotion.
		Fumbling flows rather seamlessly, and concludes with McLachlan's journey through her "Fear" of falling in love, and the subsequent result of releasing that fear in the album's title track.

	Print Version - Divine Service: Law and Ecstasy
		Divine service must be a blend of emotion with meticulous care to express that emotion in the manner prescribed by God Himself - i.e., the Torah's framework must be infused with one's own unique emotions and sensitivities.
		Through the deaths of Nadav and Avihu came a resounding message for all future generations: Divine service cannot be based on emotion alone, but must first and foremost be founded on conformity to the Halachah.
		They first exhibited this weakness at Sinai when their ecstasy in perceiving the Divine Presence was not bound by the requirements of respect and seriousness.

	"Art" by Clive Bell
		A good work of visual art carries a person who is capable of appreciating it out of life into ecstasy: to use art as a means to the emotions of life is to use a telescope of reading the news.
		Only those for whom art is a constant source of passionate emotion can possess the data from which profitable theories may be deduced; but to deduce profitable theories even from accurate data involves a certain amount of brain-work, and, unfortunately, robust intellects and delicate sensibilities are not inseparable.
		If they are not curious about the nature of their emotion, nor about the quality common to all objects that provoke it, they have my sympathy, and, as what they say if often charming and suggestive, my admiration too.

	Denis Dutton on Glenn Gould
		Ecstasy for him did not denote a special euphoric emotion that might be produced in the performance — or in listening to the performance — of a piece of music.
		Gould’s unending effort to achieve ecstasy by his own lights in whatever way he thought it might be revealed in a score, coupled with his refusal to bow to any tradition of performance, is the source of so much of the critical nonsense that has been written about him over the years.
		Glenn Gould was in certain respects both a romantic and an idealist.

	Nietzsche, Plato and Aristotle on Mimesis [Wong Kwok Kui]
		Second, a certain kind of ecstasy or “geting-out-of-oneself” is a prerequisite for such mimesis, and therefore the level of “ecstasy” increases with the change of poetic genre, with drama and tragedy the highest.
		Thus, the process of mimesis set off by the muses must not be limited to particular affects, but must have an access to a certain kind of universal emotion.
		Mimesis or the dramatic representation, which begins with the imitation of the external gestures and movements, has stronger effect to the soul than narration does, for the latter always keeps a distance from its object.

	The Passion of Joan of Arc
		According to Dreyer’s screenplay, the prayer is for the judges a litmus test to see if she is possessed by the devil, and Joan’s early refusal is due to overwhelming emotion at the thought of her mother, who first taught her the prayer.
		Reportedly, her passion is not entirely simulated: Dreyer is said to have been pitiless in getting the nuances of emotion he wanted, and would make Falconetti kneel for extended periods on hard stone in an effort to get just the right expression of inner suffering.
		Crushing exhaustion, visionary ecstasy, peasant cunning, and unconcealed terror wash over her features.

		Siegel swoops in a pendulum parabola from bleak pits of psychic despair to elevated states of clarity and ecstasy, in pages describing simply and exactly a timeless range of human emotion induced by life's costs and compensations.
		As a fictionist and essayist, Siegel fashions tales of cardinal emotions that spring from inescapable facts and duties of life.
		As a journalist, he chronicles with chilling insight the chaos of an era coming down from LSD in which politicians and rock musicians compete for the same disillusioned and dangerous crowds, and where seemingly idyllic communes are seen to be open-air sanitariums, rest camps for the damaged and rootless refugees of America.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Sturm und Drang [Storm and Stress]
		In a nutshell, the central concepts of Sturm und Drang are ecstasy of emotion and passion; boundless affirmation of nature; the idolisation of the unique, creative and all-powerful individual (the “genius”, the “Faustian” personality); the veneration of art as gospel, i.e.
		Sturm und Drang derives its name from a drama by Friedrich Maximilian Klinger (1752-1831) originally titled Wirrwarr [Chaos] and re-named Sturm und Drang (1776) on the suggestion of Christoph Kaufmann (1753-1795), a propagator of the cult of genius and minor writer of the time.
		The Weltanschauung [world-view] of Sturm und Drang was essentially tragic: as the Promethean genius it liked to portray is invariably undone by a world of mediocrity, tragic failure appears to be a matter of course for greatness.

	Online Review London - Circa
		Funny, poignant, rhythmic, excoriating, clever and full of black farce, the songs (and the performance of them: Jacques in a disaffected clown's face plods across the stage in despair and disgust, investing his powerful falsetto with every emotion from pathos to scorn as the evening unfolds) are a treat, and carry the dance strongly along.
		But the performance also has great subtlety and sensuality, premised as it is on the tango, from which there develops a series of themes of love and conflict, passion and ecstasy.
		The other - and very rich - simultaneous half of the evening's art is the music of Martyn Jacques and his confreres in the Tiger Lillies.

		The songs on Height of Callousness show how the band are fully prepared to set the world afire and renew faith in the personal nature of heavy music.

		Hoffmann describes the play as "a quartet written for four voices, delving into the soul-shattering pain and ecstasy that exists beneath the surface of everyday existence." The four characters - M (Kelly Hart), C (Kat Walsh), B (Tom Conner) and A (Matt Holmes) - have letters instead of names and represent moods, memories and conjectures.
		The dialogue is filled with non-sequiturs coupled with echoes of emotion.
		The play is not user-friendly, but Hoffmann and the cast feel there is something for the audience to take away with it.

		Curiosity has for Butler the powerful significance it is bound to have for a man with a genius for awareness, with a faculty of consciousness so acute that he becomes what he observes and with such a depth of emotion that he is what he feels.
		Both Butler and Lear are in ecstasy and become--in a sense--mystics, the seers whom Rimbaud described as arriving at the unknown by way of the derangement of the senses.
		Butler, feeling the coarse earth, was finally in touch with a cosmic grandeur, but he reached this epiphany through the touch of his hands on the firm earth.

		This egotism is exemplified in the contemporary world by the effects of power-drugs such as cocaine and the amphetamines, or by the warm cocoon of emotional self-sufficiency afforded by opium and its more potent analogues and derivatives.
		Drugs - not least the magical trinity of empathogens, entactogens and entheogens - and eventually genetic engineering will open up revolutionary new state spaces of thought and emotion.
		Yet drugs - not least the empathogens such as Ecstasy - and genetic engineering can in principle be customised to let us be nicer; to reinforce our idealised codes of conduct.

	ELEGY - LoveToKnow Article on ELEGY
		The elegy, in its calm movement, seems to have begun to lose currency when the ecstasy of emotion was more successfully interpreted by the various rhythmic and dithyrambic inventions of the Aeolic lyrists.
		But it is curious to notice that all the elegies of these poets were of an an.iatory nature, and that antiquity styled the funeral dirges of Theocritus, Bion and Moschuswhich are to us the types of elegynot elegies at all, but idylls.
		On the other hand,the passion of love inspires Mimnermus, whose elegies are the prototypes not only of the later Greek pieces, and of the Latin poems of the school of Tibullus and Propertius, but of a great deal of the formal erotic poetry of modern Europe.

	Ecstatic Dance FAQ
		Terrence McKenna defines ecstasy as a complex emotion containing elements of joy, fear, terror, triumph, surrender and empathy.
		It derives from the Greek word ekstasis, meaning "displacement, trance, to take flight, to drive out of one's senses." The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and Secrets defines it as "standing forth naked." Einstein referred to it as the "ultimate religious feeling state," while author Chris Griscom views it as "the higher self in action."
		It is the last thing you might ever expect to show up in the center of a deeply challenging experience, but sometimes it does.
