re: Eloquence is a dying art
Has there been one post here of such eloquence?
I don't know. Mary Anne's turned out some real good work here, along with a few others. Eloquence seems to be a dying art, as you could see by reading work written by schoolkids in the late 1800s compared to now. But not dead by any means.
No need to get yourself down about this kind of thing. Not everything one says has to be earthshaking, and you never know when it will make a difference.
