In this book, "Early American Modernist Painting 1910-1935" by Abraham A. Davidson, it cites a phrase by Kenyon Cox, "Akajan maradak tecor sosthendi."
I find it funny that apparently it’s actually supposed to be “Ajakan maradak tecor sosthendi,” 1/2

![Photo of a paragraph in the book.
"facades." (end of a paragraph that is otherwise not in the photo)
New paragraph: Of course, there was tremendous resistance in America to modernism's spread and success. The charges could be violent and outrageous. Pictures made by patients in sanitariums for the insane were claimed to be just like the paintings and drawings of the Cubists [1]. After stating that the first Orphist (a branch of Cubism practiced by the Frenchman Robert Delaunay and others) picture was done by a donkey whose tail had been dipped in paint, Kenyon Cox, a chief debunker of modernism, asked: "if an artist is to choose his symbols to suit himself, and to make them mean anything he chooses, who is to say what he means or whether he means anything? If a man were to rise and recite with a solemn voice words like 'Akajan maradak tecor sosthendi,' would you know what he meant?"^4 Such outbursts were not sporadic, nor were they symptomatic only of the years immediately following the Armory Show. In 1924, eleven years after the Armor Show, there existed a Society devoted to the combating of Cubism.^5"
New paragraph: "There was another side to the ledger, the complement to the fierce debunk-" (beginning of next line cut off)
... "elsewhere the new styles were defended" (end of text visible in photo)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:63gbmxvacn664kfulpbalnnx/bafkreifg7usur4e4pv2vajabkdnilzq7ibgdv3gizo2fbz7qqggkwcov3a@jpeg)

language update:
spending time to learn hebrew orthography/pronunciation is extremely complicated and not actually necessarily how the words are pronounced in yiddish, so i'm thinking i might as well just look up individual words as i see them and make flash cards or something

i like the idea of ideas emerging in a society based on existing ideas and thoughts (sort of an idea that ideas are an emergent phenomenon of other ideas existing), and that ideas might be forgotten in a society and reemerge under different contexts or in completely unrelated societies/cultures

i dont know whether it's actually the case that everything that's possible to think of has already been thought of before, but i often think of something and can't find any reference to it when i try to look it up
