Obviously the art of talking and use of words like almost all other arts has taken a beating and seen its finest show displays looted. But still - it's a nice story even if no-one sings the same way. How many can mend a sonnet or saddle a horse? Ah! But has been pointed out many times, we do not need the few left who can do such things in power.
