Traitor for civility
Sometimes I think I would like to trade all our casual informality, dispensing of meaningless social customs, instant familiarity, and obsession with the nouveau for something older, more formed, and more formal; a return to civility, honor, integrity, manners and social custom. My heart cries out for a 21st century Eleanor of Aquitaine to influence our world with the same brilliant depth, breadth, and imagination. Why can we not see that in order for our cathedrals to soar, our buttresses to fly, we must have a structure to support the weight lest we become a pile of rubble with time and weather that shelters no one?
