“In London, efforts to improve drainage received a new impetus in 1858 by what came to be called the Great Stink of London. The long hot summer of that year lowered the flow of the Thames, while every day tons of raw sewage continued to flow into the river. As the sewage stewed, foul smells engulfed the neighbourhoods along the banks, including the Houses of Parliament, which was 'all but compelled to legislate upon the great London nuisance by the force of sheer stench.' (The Times, 18 June 1858). The result was the Metropolis Local Management Amendment Act of 1858, which became law just 18 days after it was introduced: clear proof of how efficient Parliament could be when properly motivated.”

“In Japan, a number of time-honored everyday activities (such as making tea, arranging flowers, and writing) have traditionally been deeply examined by their proponents. Students study how to make tea, perform martial arts, or write with a brush in the most skillful way possible to express themselves with maximum efficiency and minimum strain. Through this efficient, adroit, and creative performance, they arrive at art. But if they continue to delve even more deeply into their art, they discover principles that are truly universal, principles relating to life itself. Then, the art of brush writing becomes shodo—the “Way of the brush”—while the art of arranging flowers is elevated to the status of kado—the “Way of flowers.” Through these Ways or Do forms, the Japanese have sought to realize the Way of living itself. They have approached the universal through the particular.”
