When I looked up ‘rococo’ in the dictionary a while back it was defined as ‘an ornamental style emphasizing the florid and the gorgeous, but lacking substance’, and I couldn’t help but laugh. It was so perfect. How could anything beautiful have ‘substance’ anyway? Pure beauty is always without meaning or morality.
