Living in the Bronze Age: Time for another music interlude...

"In everything that can be called art, there is a quality of redemption. It may be pure tragedy, if it is high tragedy, and it may be pity and irony, and it may be the raucous laughter of the strong man. But down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid. He is the hero, he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man, and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honour, by instinct, by inevitability, without thought of it and without saying it. He must be the best man in his world and a good enough man for any world"

- Raymond Chandler, The Simple Art of Murder, The Atlantic Monthly, December 1944
