Fantastic title! I had forgotten about Stendhal's art abnormality. I can hear it now, "So, how was your vacation? I got the fantods looking at all the art!" My heart breaks.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of titles, I'm now in mourning because my Cubs just lost again in the post season to Joe Torre's LA Dodgers! There has got to be a syndrome for getting swept in three. Hey, but you have a great day. ;-)
Well that sure took me on a long Wikipedia browse! I wound up on a BBC article about common mistakes of etiquette made by British visitors to France. I'm sure I would make many of the same.
ReplyDeleteAs for art and architecture, I welcome any opportunity to be overwhelmed. Bring it on.
