Ahem, requoting my former quote:
Quote:
The detachment it is sometimes necessary to exercise in order to disentangle esthetic qualities from others is often resented. It is frequently considered a good thing if moral outrage makes imbeciles of us.
I think, fellow Spherians, that this discussion is becoming less about esthetics and reason, and more about old grudges, slights, hurts and paybacks. That does not bode well for a profitable discussion.
Never mind, maybe there were no grounds for a profitable discussion to start with.
So joining in the spirit of the game: What is your favorite word (in the whole world) to use in a poem and what is your least favorite?
