You are only defending your personal subjective ideas of what is true
to you and others like you,
As the "Supreme Court of Aesthetics". I don't buy that.

I truly believe that his "savage" remark came from his soul.
I feel sorry for him.

Michael, you often bring a rewarding, arch, irony to your lines.
Occasionally
this undermines surety about what your own position is, but that
can be okay.
For example, it's unsure if you are praising or ridiculing William
here.
I don't agree with William when he chastises Mando for daring to
deride any
work of Titian's -- as you also dae to do by insinuating Titian
had bad late
paintings. As Horace said, "Sometimes even noble Homer nods." I
have
frequent
dinners with a friend who is a Shakespeare scholar. The admiration
we feel for
W.S. is such that sometimes all we can do is shake our heads in
loving awe.
But we would never think of defending his every line. In truth, I
think that
to
condemn any criticism whatever of W.S. -- or Titian -- would be to
display a
defective sensibility. But I grant I can't be sure William was
being serious
when he rounded on Mando...
