I should define as Baroque that style which deliberately exhausts
(or tries to exhaust) all its possibilities and which borders on
its own parody
I would say that the final stage of all styles
is baroque when that style only too obviously exhibits or overdoes
its own tricks.
A Universal History of Infamy - Jorge Luis Borges, preface
to 1954 edition
The sublime and
the ridiculous, the grotesque and the beautiful, the overdone and
the overflow, melodrama and ecstasy, a passionate taste for life
and its sensations, excessive complexity, contorted and convoluted,
showing us a world where matter is continuously in motion.
