A companion piece to CC-233. Where *Gentleness in the Pursuit of Extremity is No Vice* spells out the social philosophy of the action, this sheet renders the same call in a more visual and lyrical key, and
distills the message into image, typography, and slogan: “Haight Street is ours to play on till we feel it beautiful to stop.” The flowers, the spacious design, and the playful imprint embody the very sensibility the first sheet describes—an occupation of the street through beauty, improvisation, and presence rather than confrontation. Together, the two pieces function as theory and lyric, manifesto and poster, each completing the meaning of the other.
