What I mean to suggest, though I am by no means the first to suggest it, is that if the experience of art and religion be analogues of each another, as I suspect they are, then we had better be prepared to make moral claims for art—and artistic claims for religion—or for morality, if you prefer. The former—that we must be prepared to make moral claims for art—is what I have in fact been doing here all along. (And be it noted that I have included in my definition of art “spots of time,” which, to my way of thinking, could include the sound of sheep munching—so long as the sound hits you just right, as, indeed, it has sometimes hit me.)

Thanks to your stage directions, "reality" is just far enough away on this one so that a fool like me doesn't get confused.
