Fortune or faith (none / 1)
Boris as Kierkegaard's knight of faith:

When God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac, Abraham needed to go beyond mere belief, and needed to go beyond simple resignation to the loss of his son. Abraham needed to believe, in faith, that God's will would be fulfilled, and needed to believe, in faith, that his son would be saved.

Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing

The Boris version
But the old man would not so, but slew his son,
And half the seed of Europe, one by one.

I don't think Boris has got it in him.
