adorno and abstracts in oil minor

"Every single element in the web of delusion is nevertheless of relevance to the possible demise of that web of delusion. The good is what struggles free, finds a language and opens its eyes. As something that struggles free, goodness is part of the texture of history which, without being unambiguously set on reconciliation, in the course of its movement illuminates the possibility of reconciliation in a momentary flash."
