Greg,
I am sadly and, at this point in my earthly existence this time around, likely irrevocably deficient in the skills and temperament -- especially patience -- required to help others understand what I've struggled long and hard to come to grips with. George Michael recognized this fact about my nature, although he so typically went out of his way to rationalize it.
I don't believe that Albert or Seamus come to us with less than honorable intentions. Perhaps you're right: the unspeakable is also, for most of us, unthinkable.
It is also impenetrable, and thus unknowable, by logical OR intuitive inquiry.
False choice.
The wolf was killed to eliminate its threat AND to ingest its courage.
And so the cenotaph is as sacred as the tomb.
Wilbourne, bless him, was right.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
