Does anyone here really propose that we try to avoid having certain feelings
(i.e. sentimental ones) when experiencing something as art ?

Well ---  maybe some of you do --- and that would be a good reason -- as far
as I am concerned -- to  set aside all concepts of art -- and just experience
each thing for whatever entertainment/enjoyment/enlightenment each might
provide.

Though -- there does come a time when we have to decide what best represents
our civilization -- things for which we should be proud -- that we should put
in the premier public places and set up as exemplary for young people -- and
then -- but only then -- would I pull out the dread word "sentimentality"  and
tag it onto things which feel are too small-weak-petty to deserve such
recognition.
