Of a summer dawn, the Bull of La Plata quits the lush pampas to wade the mud to the near-dry river in the middle of the plain. Slow, because he is either clogged, over-ruminative, or seeking to delay the delicious and unfamiliar contact of lip and water, he finds himself, about five to ten, somewhat stuck ... Poor Bull.'

3: In a Post-Culture
In the third of his 1970 T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures delivered earlier this month at the University of Kent, Dr Steiner proceeds from his examination of 19th-century high civilisation and the cultural crises of the traumatic period from 1914 to 1945 to make an inventory of our losses, of the assumptions from which we can no longer work in psychological and social terms. And he looks at the main elements that constitute our current ' Post-Culture,' in particular the generation-conflict.
