At the root of it, I think, is the love of form at the expense of
essence.

"Men are idolaters, and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or
throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will, and
if you don't make it of wood, you must make it of words."
(Oliver Wendell Holmes)


"We cannot let our angels go. We do not see that they only go out
that archangels may come in. We are idolaters of the old."
(Emerson)
