Threshold is a forum for student work.
This magazine was founded on the premise that all fields hold opportunities for creative expression and that we can find the essential human experience in everything we create. The instant wherein that supreme quality of beauty, the clear radiance of the esthetic image, is apprehended luminously by the mind which has been arrested by its wholeness and fascinated by its harmony is the luminous silent stasis of esthetic pleasure, a spiritual state very like to that cardiac condition which the Italian physiologist Luigi Galvani, using a phrase almost as beautiful as Shelley's, called the enchantment of the heart. The actual magazine is much more pleasing than what I have prepared here. Any comments, bug reports, etc. are greatly appreciated.
