When we are taught in school to sit still, we tend to yield to this arbitrary principle and develop in ourselves another one: An excessively Apollonian aesthetic -- an excessively somber tone underlying and overlying all our language. We become monochromatic, like so many Picasso's paintings from his Blue period. Lost for colour, we lost a range of language with which to express ourselves.
