Introduction

..."When in the flea market I take an old lamp in my hands, I can't help wondering why the master formed its socket to last for 200 years, even though he had only 30 left - and today why doesn't this attitude permeate the world. I just simply cannot live my life among modern newly constructed things. The old things are around me to fill me up with the spirit they preserve - so that my movements may then be as temporal as a jingle of a melody, a step of a dance or a sip of wine - have such effects as the old masters' works, which are able to prove the importance of our being here."...Demeter Zoltán (RM) - 2009 Decanter
