THE ATYS LAMP
ANTHROPOMORPHIC AND PRETERNATURAL, THE ATYS LAMP IS HEADED BY A MOLLUSK-FORM, DESCENDING ALONG A RIB-LIKE SHAPE INTO AN EERIE PELVIC BASE. NAMED FOR THE NEAR EASTERN MESSIANIC PRECURSOR, ATYS, WHOSE ECSTATIC WISDOM WAS PERSONIFIED IN THE ACT OF SELF-CASTRATION, OUR STUDY LAMP SERVES TO REMIND US THAT PRUDENCE IS OFTEN THE PRICE OF ERUDITION.
