"Taste, this sense, this gift of distinguishing our foods in every known language, has produced the metaphor that expresses, with the word taste, the sensitivity and the defects in the fine arts: it is an immediate distinction like that of the tongue and palate that anticipates, like that, reflection; like it, it is sensitive and pleasant regarding goodness; [...] Just as bad taste from a physical point of view consists in not being seduced by overly spicy and overly refined condiments, so bad taste in the arts consists in appreciating affected decorations and in not understanding beautiful nature."
