So, the Royal Academy, with its steel bands and dinosaurs, may be suffering from multiple-personality disorder, but to me it looks alive and well – quarrelsome, neurotic and part of the Season, certainly, but simultaneously bohemian, contemporary and still the repository of that strange impulse, in the midst of enlightenment England, to sanctify and protect the best things on which the human eye can rest.

from Bryan Appleyard: The Sunday Times: Jolly good show?
