The food restrictions . . . are known to some, but not known to most in my generation. They don't know that such things existed and exist. And yet they are perfectly at balance in the local surroundings. If you get too attached to your roots in the old sense, you might actually become unrooted, fossilized. At least in form, at least in style, you must get into the new stream, get the new roots. . . .
Style becomes substance in one generation.
