It does indeed. And the word ‘visual’ tends to suggest a pleasure experienced above the nose – rather than in the heart.

Maybe Wotton should have translated Vitruvius’ aims as Commodity, Firmness and Pavlova.
Sadly, I did not invent the term Post-POMO. It is a handier phrase than post-Postmodern (though even this can sound good with a quick-quick-slow rhythm). Written postpomo (a bit like postpone) the word is good enough to earn a place in the lexicon of the fine arts.

(I am not sure whether reading this gave me a raspberry pudding moment but there was definitely delight!) From this experience delight it seems is a little like wonder but with a spontaneous element of joy. So yes, as a child, the first mouthful of raspberry pudding may have had this effect. Perhaps that is why people around the world are still searching for culinary delights even in adulthood?
