What passes for fine art in our times in most cases is banality gone pompous! The value of the vision and aesthetic sensibilities of the Arts and Crafts artist is reflected in the prices their surviving works command in the antique shop. I am new to your diary and reservoir of reflection, having been introduced to it this very night by a colleague. I wish to congratulate you on a remarkable achievement of wry wit, lively comment, and delightfull aesthetics.
