A sad statement on all we will never know about love and relationships. The worst part to me is that there are hundreds, thousands of willing naysayers, ready to make fun of him for what he has written here. As I read, I could hear them already… But in the end, I think he has named the truth:
We are a generation of the dull, blank, listless, hopeless; a generation of youth without mirth, age without wisdom. Even our eros is pallid and nerveless.

My prayer is to raise young adults who still yearn for those things. Very poignant. Thanks for posting. I admire Anthony Esolen’s work.
