Bethberry, Just a short response, because this is, as you said, getting too far off subject. Yes, as I said, i should really have said originally that I was stating my opinion, but its too easy when you feel something strongly, & it seems obvious to you, to treat it as a fact. Besides, to what extent is an 'objective' opinion on the arts just a collection of subjective opinions?I've never come across an 18th/19th century novel which I didn't have to force myself through. I just can't get into anything between the renaissance & Dunsany, Eddison, et al. I'm the same with music, Hildegard to Dowland, then Vaughn-Williams, Elgar. I exclude folk tales & folk music. Anyway. this is REALLY too far off subject. Blessed Be.
