Power
That through the growing faculties of sense
Doth like an agent of the one great Mind
Create, creator and receiver both.
-WILLIAM WORDSWORTH: The Prelude
When the writer's Idea is revealed or incarnate by his Energy, then, and only then, can his Power work on the world. More briefly and obviously, a book [add] (a painting, a composition or any other art form) has no influence till somebody read it.p111 Sayers, Dorothy L. in The Mind of the Maker (Harper & Row: SanFrancisco, 1987)
“The arts always play an important role in helping societies consider the implications of science and new technology. They help us engage with new ideas and help focus debate on issues of concern." Judith Tizard -Minister for Culture and Heritage NZ
