Tony Esolen: Over Our Dead Bodies
A first-rate article, which I think I am perfectly justified in jealously wishing myself capable of writing, and which is positively chock-full of such lovely phrases as “wise policemen have looked the other way,” “perduring affection,” “pinchedness of individualists,” “a stick of dynamite is worth _____,” “skittish electrochemical blinks,” and “the humility of risk.”
Go read it. Because it’s long.
