However, I think it's a shame that, with man's capacity for invention, we find the need to hijack old but perfectly effective words instead of creatively devising new ones. I like your videos which are clever and well done, and some of them hilarious, but I think your caricature of Marina is unrealistic and rather unkind, especially compared to your Venetian Princess whose essence you have captured well. If I hadn't been told in advance, I would never have recognised Marina in this video.

However, I believe that because of the demythologizing of the cosmos in the Post-Nietzsche world in which now live, the nuances of words such as "awesome" and "wonderful" and even "amusement" can probably never be recovered. I think we have to accept the fact that our Weltanschauung has rendered them impotent and learn to live the fact they will continue to live on as shadows of their former selves.
