![a quote from Hannah Arendt's introduction to Walter Benjamin's 'Illuminations':
Critique [he wrote] is concerned with the truth content of a work
of art, the commentary with its subject matter. The relationship be-
tween the two is determined by that basic law of literature according
to which the work~s truth content is the more relevant the more in-
conspicuously and intimately it is bound up with its subject matter.
If therefore precisely those works turn out to endure whose truth is
most deeply embedded in their subject matter, the beholder who con-
templates them long after their own time finds the realia all the more
striking in the work as they have faded away in the world. This
means that subject matter and truth content, united in the work's
early period, come apart during its afterlife; the subject matter be~
comes more striking while the truth content retains its original con-
cealment. To an ever-increasing extent, therefore, the interpretation
of the striking and the odd, that is, of the subject matter, be~omes a
prerequisite for any later critic. One may liken him to a paleographer
in front of a parchment whose faded text is covered by the stronger
outlines of a script referring to that text.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ercyfhtept4b6ll7dgwwqmix/bafkreia2t4qa3w5kjqxbdeaakdo5yxmtgjmhltnljxofxtcekdnbsae634@jpeg)

Possible bug showing one word left when it’s just the vowels and I’m below the threshold. Pretty sure there’s nothing there
