Reread my posting; all I'm really saying is that "cornets" should read The
Dunciad by Alexander Pope.  It's a classic!  It's my opinion that Nietzsche
shouldn't be approached like a fundamentalist dogma--the great master said
this and that.  He would be appalled, in my opinion, at people trying to use
him to produce an absolute definition of art, and then pigeonhole anything
that doesn't fit their "read" of his sacred writings.
