       | commitment to aesthetics, one I struggle to express using English

       | One of my favorite short books is about Japanese esthetics --
       | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Praise_of_Shadows. it covers an
       | eclectic set of topics (why black is the best color for toilets?)
       | but it's a delightful read.
