in matters of taste

In his highest flights
musical and architectural above all
for they are one
man gives the illusion of rivalling the order
the majesty and the splendor of the heavens

Nice bon mot.

And Miller had a type of wit a right-winger fraud like Kirby Olsonberg will never understand.

Not exactly.

Ah pity the foo, as Mr. T would say--which is to say it's an Emperor's new clothes sort of meme: Kirby's ...Bogus with a capital B.

Check out some of the Henry Miller jazz on youtube (tho' not too pious), like the one with aged Henry in New Yawk. He's quite entertaining really, and not as insane as beats. Old cynical bohemian---this "sh*thole" New Yawk, full of nightmares etc. Sort of beyond the ideology of left and right ...
