Eclecticism is the degree zero of contemporary general culture: one listens to reggae, watches a western, eats McDonald's food for lunch and local cuisine for dinner, wears Paris perfume in Tokyo and 'retro' clothing in Hong Kong knowledge is a matter of TV games. It is easy to find a public for eclectic works.

But I am alien to your natural grace, to the spirit which you would know as a participator in America.
