TRTR(I.3) Pattern Recognition Redux

[Jed Kelestron]

Wyatt is clearly into the ideal of pattern recognition:

"That's what it is, this arrogance, in this flamenco music this same
arrogance of suffering, listen. The strength of it's what's so
overpowering, the self-sufficiency that's so delicate and tender
without an instant of sentimentality. With infinite pity but refusing
pity, it's a precision of suffering, the tremendous tension of
violence all enclosed in a framework...in a pattern that doesn't
pretend to any other level but its own. It's the privacy, the
exquisite sense of privacy about it, it's the sense of privacy that
most popular expressions of suffering don't have, don't dare have,
that's what makes it arrogant. That's what sentimentalizing invades
and corrupts, that's what we've lost everywhere, especially here where
they make every possible assault on your feelings and privacy. These
things have their own patterns, suffering and violence, and
that's...the sense of violence within its own pattern, the pattern
that belongs to violence like a bullfight, that's why the bullfight is
art, because it respects its own pattern..." (p. 111f)
