More than that, whether you think you need him or not, he is a man who is bound by his love, to speak. If he loves Wisdom or the Arts, so much the better for him and for all of us. But if he loves only the way meat browns or onions peel, if he delights simply in the curds of his cheese or the color of his wine, he is, by every one of those enthusiasms, commanded to speak. A silent lover is one who doesn&#8217;t know his job.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Ah, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Supper-Lamb-Culinary-Reflection-Paperbacks\/dp\/0375760563\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1266610366&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\">Capon<\/a>. This paragraph speaks for itself, doesn&#8217;t it? You speak not because it&#8217;s right or is a right. His admonition is much stronger than that. You speak because you love.<\/p>\n<p>Love is. And the speaking comes next. It&#8217;s not some Erasmusian, highly attenuated and stylized, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Praise_of_Folly\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Praise of Folly<\/em><\/a> kind of speaking. It&#8217;s not covert. It&#8217;s full-throated and known. Otherwise, it&#8217;s not love.
