I’m under orders from my wife and from my editor: rest! Get well.
That’s what I’ve tried to do today. It’s raining, but a break in the weather allowed me to have a cigar. And then we settled down to watch Babe.
The musical theme in Babe is an adaptation of Symphony No. 3 by Camille Saint-Saens, sung here by the Libera Boys Choir. It never, never fails to move me. We have the lyrics for you in the video. They’re in Latin, but you might find it surprisingly easy to understand.
And the movie itself is genuinely inspiring. I feel better for having watched it.
