I like that idea of "pulling back the veil." It reminds me of Paul Bowles' Sheltering Sky . We need pretty blues and whites so we never truly contemplate our place and have a massive super freak-out that leaves us raving lunatics in an asylum, advising our doctors to burn our research assistants in acid.
