The Frammis Goskit Distims the Blue Doshes on Round Thursdays
Dilettante has abandoned pretensions to Philosophy,
Much like the pretensions of his child ego.
He passes rapidly from Hemingway to Proust
to Hitler to Marx to Foucault to Mary Douglas
to the present situation in The Middle East
to Tolstoy to Steve Jobs's biography.
He is a name-dropper,
who uses names such to refer to ways of seeing.
His specialty is in seeing similarities & differences
between great big pictures,
between attempts
to see how things hang together.
Dilettante is the person who tells you
how all the ways of making things hang together
hang together.
