Nice, the protagonist of The Count of Monte Cristo, speaks, and art should have its say. Alexandre Dumas speaks through a man who has suffered but in this thread there is speaking to a scientific look, too bad, but in no way does he mean to present a scientific comprehension of the contraries.
The art is more alive and should have its place but not as a law of our science for then it becomes shackled down.
