dilettante (/ˌdɪlɪˈtanti,ˌdɪlɪˈtanteɪ/)

mid 18th century: from Italian, ‘person loving the arts’, from dilettare ‘to delight’, from Latin delectare .
You were made and set here to give voice to this, your own astonishment.*
Annie Dillard
What is your unwaning delight,
Your perpetual astonishment?
You must not let anything take these from you, or
become some obstacle to them.
Do not tell yourself,
Someday, I will find the time for them.
Now is the time, you are where they meet –
We’re here waiting for the magic.
