Modern Sense

Amen.
It is also a travesty that they have no knowledge of history.
Just today, I read “The Legend of the King” by Gerald Morris, about the fall of Arthur. The epigraph:
“Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned . . .
– W.B. Yeats
and
“All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses,
And to die is different from what any one supposed . . .
– Walt Whitman”
And that made my heart hurt, because I felt like I was watching the fall of Arthur and the struggles of Captain Moroni against the king-men superimposed on the slow collapse of our country.
