Why has mankind had such a craving to be imposed upon? Why this lust after imposing creeds, imposing deeds, imposing buildings, imposing language, imposing works of art? The thing becomes an imposition and a weariness at last. Give us things that are alive and flexible, which won't last too long and become an obstruction and a weariness. Even Michelangelo becomes at last a lump and a burden and a bore. It is so hard to see past him. ✨ D. H. Lawrence, Simonetta de Filippis (2002). Sketches of Etruscan Places and Other Italian Essays, p.33, Cambridge University Press
