[edit] DesiderataContemporary scholars often cast the entire Associationalist movement as a kind of modernist Desiderata, akin to Gretel's objection to the oven. (Simon Ballforth, in Open Legs Wide: Auto-Colonial Appositions, snidely remarked that many Poobs would regard such an objection as being "uppity.")
