Pound,...

My interest has grown and developed over many years through visiting museums and watching programs based on designing homes.

Indeed, the focal point of any modernist work of fiction is a clash of the traditions and innovations, the subjectivity vs objectivity of reality, and the biases which deny the existence of the objective truth.
