Everyone with an eye for beauty knows that there are colors that clash and colors that, placed side by side, enhance each other's beauty. Promiscuous mixing of colors almost always results in a horror. Everyone with a sensitive pallet likewise knows that flavors must be intelligently combined. Very seldom does anything good comes from a pot into which ingredients are thrown at random. These cautionary lessons should, but do not, impress today's artists and cooks of culture, and this is why our societies resemble a mess of slumgullion or a man who got dressed in the dark.
