“Imaginative writings can lead to action, but they do not have to. They belong to the realm of fine art.
A work of fine art is "fine" not because it is "refined," but because it is an end (finis, Latin, means end) in itself. It does not move toward some result beyond itself. It is, as Emerson said of beauty, its own excuse for being.”
