Losing Sight of Ourselves

“I didn’t even look in the mirror to say goodbye to myself. I didn’t care. I wanted to be blind.”

“A Terribly White Balcony”

Echoes from Ruby Ridge

A moral question lingers for both Americans and Europeans, 30 years after the Ruby Ridge incident: do we as citizens have the right to isolate ourselves and effectively secede from the rest of society?

Something Rotten in the Kingdom of France

Live Not Like Flies

Live Not Like Flies

The resonant echoes of our island story in public rituals, though a little pantomime-ish, reconnect us to our past. They help us feel the burden of our role as custodians of a national inheritance, so that Britain’s most precious features, while subject to repair and improvement where possible, are carried to future generations.
