I agree. “There should be public spaces which can be booked, without the need for payment (and probably with a ban on the performers charging the public).”

Public space is essential for civic life. True, public space by nature is for the public and so not commercial space. [ http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/exhibitions/bondi.aspx ].

So, in this way the distinction needs to be made between temporary and permanent uses of the space by the public (for public art and performances etc). [ http://nnpaf.org/what_is_art.html ]

Yes, dance is another good use for urban space. There should be public spaces which can be booked, without the need for payment (and probably with a ban on the performers charging the public).

Yes, the arrival of Spring.

Should we compose a lamentation for the loss of an allegorical view of life and the world? Or is it just a matter of knowing where to look?

In which case celebratory verse may be more appropriate?
