Artes, Scientia, Veritas: A Daisy in a Lamp on a Book at Sunrise (Ann Arbor, MI)

Tell you what: without the daisy, this emblem ain't nothing but mere pomp.

But with the daisy? Pure camp!

And worthy therefore of full honors.

In the immortal words of Sontag:

"22. In naïve, or pure, Camp, the essential element is seriousness, a seriousness that fails. Of course, not all seriousness that fails can be redeemed as Camp. Only that which has the proper mixture of the exaggerated, the fantastic, the passionate, and the naïve."
