“Monday, 9 March 2009 ‘The folk creation is expressively perfect not only because its long-term refinement from generation to generation shapes and rounds it off, just as the river rounds and smooths the pebbles it carries downstream until it gives them the flawless shape of a rounded stone, but also because it is precisely through this collective refinement that the forces of its constant adaptation to the common aesthetic are at work.’
