culture vulture

[…] -- unless of course “culture” is thought to be something decoratively added when all else has been accomplished, the fairy on the Christmas tree: an approach which opens wide the way for culture-vultures and peddlars of arty gentility, upon whom “culture” sits (to misuse an image of T. S. Eliot's) like a silk hat upon a Bradford millionaire.
