Ah, now I see it. I remember two old yews side-by-side in the Welsh damp. Very green, very shaggy, with an old world mustiness about them, not so flayed, not so raw, not so young.
But the line I will remember is the last. We do live in a time of miracles. Oh, yes.
But all I have to add to the actual discussion is that vir is the latin root for man and virtue. Be a man is to be good for a roman, and in light of coming from the disappointment of settling for The Eagle because The King's Speech was cancelled, is that there are many moralities out there, and it is interesting to bring them into conflict with each other.
Teh nihilism has one view of virtue, which it rejects. And that is where it grows dull. Feeling the need to poke it with a stick is not the same as being interested in it.
