Yes, Cintra Wilson in the Times was expounding on fashion, or what's more riveting to some, on SHOPPING,* but change a few words, and it rings true for my favorite area of endeavour.
In many [hymnals], one feels starved of proper influence from the past. Sophomoric [ditties] spring into the [liturgical] world that are so right-this-second as to be divorced from any history or future; they resolve no tensions that [the Church] has been feeling for the last several hundred years, or even the last five. They feel haplessly marooned in the present.
Spirit and Song, anyone?
*Which reminds me, am I the last one to know that there are entire magazines, more than one, devoted to shopping? Shopping!?@?#??
What is the matter with us?
Universalis, your very own breviary in pixels...
