Original title: the Sentimental Taste
_______________________________________________________________________
A sentimental writer tries to ram manufactured feelings down our throats. Those of us inclined toward an appreciation of authentic emotions will feel the bile rising as we try to digest what we deem to be indigestible. A reader or a writer who - like a connoisseur of fine foods and wines - enjoys what is natural and devoid of artificial additives will (upon reading overly seasoned and flavored sentimental poetry) most likely wish to literally vomit.
