Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Alexis de Tocqueville said
taste Whether good and bad exist in made things, and how a maker comes to tell them apart.
The object of authors will be to astonish rather than to please, and to stir the passions more than to charm the taste.
Where this was said
↗Democracy in America, Volume 2 (1840; Henry Reeve translation)gutenberg.org
