Henry, for all our sakes, think of England and not of your disappointed love for this man... You have an obsession about him, which is unhealthy and unnatural... If Thomas Becket were a faithless woman, you'd behave no differently. Sweet Jesus, tear him out of your heart!

Becket (1964) dir. Peter Glenville

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?
