"Tapetum" is a word in ENGLISH
An area in the pigmented layer of the choroid coat of the
eye in many animals, which has an iridescent or metallic luster and
helps to make the eye visible in the dark. Sometimes applied to the
whole layer of pigmented epithelium of the choroid.
The values we rightly associate with the modern age - the "liberty, equality, and fraternity" of the French revolution - are all endangered today not by the dead hand of tradition but by modernity itself, and they can be salvaged only by moving beyond it.
