| "Beauty Berry" -- Color-Reduction Woodcut by EKS |
[T]he outsiders will dispense with pageantry not from any
puritanical dislike of beauty. On the
contrary, it will be one of their aims to increase private beauty; the beauty
of spring, summer, autumn; the beauty of flowers, silks, clothes; the beauty
which brims not only every field and wood but every barrow in Oxford Street;
the scattered beauty which needs only to be combined by artists in order to become
visible to all. But they will dispense
with the dictated, regimented, official pageantry, in which only one sex takes
an active part--those ceremonies, for example, which depend upon the deaths of
kings, or their coronations to inspire them.

Keep up the good work, Elisa! I enjoy every entry, even though I don't often comment.
