Good luck with Ezra Pound then! You get so much more by using the
artist-audience dialectic

I agree with this. I would add: often this meaning is offered and influenced by
our cultural guides...some of which are sellers and traders. I also think art
is "situational," as are other important quasi-absolutes, like friendship,
love, politics. for example, the NIMBY syndrome... (not in my back yard). Life
is flux. Meaning is flux.
