Abstract

SUMMARY In this essay, an attempt is made to describe the heartland of the invidiously awestruck. Historical accounts blend in with ersatz translations of key events without abandoning the qualitative interaction between the two principal characters, Carl Van Vechten, the pursuer, and Bessie Smith, the distancer. Against these figures, brief suggestions are made for a psychotherapy of allowing awe to be what it is, even if it be unbearable, while moving into a greater realization of one's own potentials.
