The dry point “My Eumenides” was inspired by the haunting visions described in the memoirs of Thomas De Quincey “Confessions of an English Opium-Eater.” Opium was De Quincey’s escape ticket out of the wretched reality of early 19th century London. In his nightmares, we can see a parallel to the confusion and angst humankind experiences in post-modern times and our dangerous need to sedate ourselves from pain. A series of wondrous and terrifying scenes, “Confessions” compels the reader to visualize the spectacular architecture of De Quincey’s dream world. By making solid the nightmares of societal and personal failings, this book continues to illuminate human suffering.
