to preserves in my work while making toys for good wages

"Sentimentality" has been an important word in the modern
discussion of
aesthetics -- though I'm not sure it dates back any earlier.
(perhaps --
because it only became an issue with the rise of the bourgeoisie
and the
commercialization of high culture)
For William, it's still an important word --- for me, not so much
-- and
apparently the rest of us here don't care much one way or the other.
