Quibble: I took Ebert’s phrase “yearning after transience” to mean yearning (in the moments immediately after the high departs) for the high that was so transient, not yearning for the transience itself. As I interpret the words, it is precisely the lamentation on transience the author thinks that Ebert missed.
Otherwise, an excellent excoriation of Ebert.
