The Last Surviving Virtue

MATT writes:

I enjoyed the comments in the “Tolerance, without Discernment, Is Not a Virtue” thread. It made me think of something Hutton Gibson (Mel’s father) said with regards to tolerance:

Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society.

It seems to me that when an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance, for its immorality.

The Spyder and the gentle Bee

But as your worke is woven all above,/with woodbynd flowers and fragrant Eglantine:/so sweet your prison you in time shall prove,/with many deare delights bedecked fine. - Edmund Spenser, Amoretti (71.9-12)

Leaves Compared with Flowers

"I bade men tell me which in brief,/ Which is fairer, flower or leaf./ They did not have the wit to say,/ Leaves by night and flowers by day./ Leaves and bark, leaves and bark,/ To lean against and hear in the dark./ Petals I may have once pursued./ Leaves are all my darker mood." - ROBERT FROST
