First sentence: It's hard to know for sure that the elusive Mr. Sennett meant it quite this way, but for me being in Paris invokes a powerful sense of regret that my own culture is so hopelessly lame and clueless, in the civic arts especially, as to fail to create anything nearly as spiritually rewarding as the city of Paris in the way of an urban ecology.
