Art, as the old adage goes, is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. It certainly is work, if you've ever sculpted an eight foot block of marble, or memorised one of Beethoven's piano sonatas. And it doesn't leave much time for paying the rent. The question is whether we compensate people for art, such that they can keep doing it. Does society invest in it, so that people of limited means can participate and have their voices heard? This debate has existed for thousands of years.

I remember reading a melodrama from the 1800s where the protagonist, a failed writer, makes a deal with the devil to have a bestselling book. In the second half he becomes wildly successful, but is tortured by the knowledge that he is genuinely mediocre. It always stuck with me. Reminds me of people buying Likes.
It's a past participle.
e.g. "The park or meadow having been newly mown, had an air at once ornamented and natural."
"An 82-year-old great-grandad survived being mown down by a car"
I remember watching this happen to r/TheDonald in real time.
Just to avoid confusion, it's called Coherence. That's why none of your friends watched it! LOL
