Culture is a forbidding word. I have to use it. knowing of none better to describe the various beautiful and interesting objects which men have made in the past. and handed down to us, and which some of us are hoping to hand on. Many people despise them. They argue with force that cultural stuff takes up a great deal of room and time, and had better be scrapped. Cultivated people are a drop of ink in the ocean. They mix easily and even genially with other drops, for those exclusive days are over when cultivated people made only cultivated friends, and became tongue-tied or terror-struck in the presence of anyone whose make-up was different from their own. Culture, thank goodness, is no longer a social asset, it can no longer be employed either as a barrier against the mob or as a ladder into aristocracy. All the same, we are a drop in the ocean. Few people share our enjoyment so far: No one needs to listen to us who does not want to. We whisper in the corner of a world which is full of other noises, and louder ones.
