What Are You Afraid of of a Creative Artist?

Murdoch: Is it that they're going to be aspects of the world that one finds terrifying if one's a philosopher? And then question, which are they? There is a novel of Murdoch's that I remember, which is the black prince. He says you've got the key to an artist's mind when you know what he fears. It occurred to me that that seems a question one might want to ask what are you afraid of of a creative artist specifically,. as it was what's behind the works.
