Analytical pursuit of theontologicalquestion as towhether value should be placed onsomeone
is
a poetic question. The answer lies well beyond reason, logic oreven cognition. It lies well beyond the physical or aesthetic realms.The answer may be foundwithin the deepest regions of our existential Self and its appertaining journey toward essence. During the course of this journey, we shall meet Others whose respective essences linger and become interwoven within our nostalgic impressions and Sartrean Past. Thus, he or she becomes a transcendence-transcended.Time and Being attempt to rob us of these impressions by lesseningtheir respectivevaluation, especially within the scope of nothingness. Therein lies the existential mystery as the Being For Itself ( etre-pour-soi ) becomes immovably intertwined with an Object outside the Self . How does one reconcile the Subjective and Object reality, or unify the three temporal ekstases?These particularmusings underlie and form the sub-text of all Literature. Thus, we engage the Ancients to contemporaneous writers, attempting to unravel the mystery. The answer, however, lies in our own hearts and the subjective journey towardour Being's essence. It is our poetic spirit alone that shall grasp the answer and find meaning in this journey.
