The finer points of the fine arts

Good-day, gentles all.

I have been giving careful consideration to the finer points of the fine arts. Is it not indeed a waste of a perfectly good piece of art, to have it hanging in a gallery or museum for the sole purpose of access for the unwashed masses? Particularly when the sole reason for their viewing of it is that they've been told it's culture, and it would be good for them to see it. I sincerely doubt the unwashed are changed in any positive way by such a viewing.

Honestly, I do believe that if you were to place images of the finest works of art alongside images from that heathenistic vehicle of philistinism, the tele-visual receiveroid, those lacking the more mondaine social mores would unhesitatingly display a preference for whichever teeny-bipper or abigail is currently revealing the most flesh, over any classical image.

Television, is, of course, the laudanum of the masses, particularly the more fragrant masses. The finer points of the fine arts are purely and simply wasted upon them, and therefore should not be held prisoner in some public forum, but cozzled and protected by sophisticates who can truly appreciate them.

I do rather think the Bayeux Tapestry would set my parlour off a treat.

A quiet word about cheese

Good-day, gentles all.

This morning I passed some time considering cheese. It seems to me this delightful victual has been highly-underrated in its all-round health benefits.

Being, as it is, a major component of the cheese food group, it contains a high percentage of cheese. And its delightfully cheesy flavour is but one of its many advantageous advantages.

Well, I do believe that the charms of the fabulous fromage has lead to an effluence of enthusiasm on my part, but truly, gentles, it is well-warranted.

I remain truly yours,
