The Modernist is typified by immediacy. His restless, impatient spirit has him blustering through life often in a hurried rush seldom enjoying the leisure necessary for thoughtful reflection on anything beyond the present. This leaves him superficial, malleable, subject to manipulation and prone to frivolity. He lacks a measured and disciplined life. He has traded most of his human dignity for modern casualness of dress, which is often gaudy, disdains dignity and spurns the feelings of others.
Modernists are often rude and ill-mannered.
Faddish and frequently garish, modernists change with the seasons. Such a man fits well in the jungle of modern big cities. He hedonistically grabs for all the gusto and sensual pleasure he can get. He only goes round once, you see. In contrast, the Classicist is settled.
