Men Without Chests by C.S. Lewis Doodle

Men Without Chests by C.S. Lewis Doodle

In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.

This is another video, but it is a reading from The Abolition of Man, so I think it technically counts as a Word of the Day. It is long (almost a half an hour) but it is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. It almost brings tears to my eyes because of the beauty of Lewis' ideas. However, it cannot be watched when distracted. It must be savored, paused, reflected upon, and digested. It's a full-course meal for the mind.
