I saw old Autumn in the misty morn
Stand shadowless like silence, listening
To silence, for no lonely bird would sing
Into his hollow ear from woods forlorn.
- Thomas Hood

love will find you in between your storms. and it will wrap itself around you, building a shelter, a safe place filled with warmth. until then be a good home to yourself in order to welcome love.

The Course of Empire is a series of five paintings created by Thomas Cole and The series of paintings depicts the growth and fall of an imaginary city.
The first painting,The Savage, depicts the ideal state of the natural world. It is a healthy world, unchanged by humanity.
The second painting The Arcadian or Pastoral State, shows humanity at peace with the land.
The third painting, The Consummation of Empire, shifts the viewpoint to the opposite shore, approximately the site of the clearing in the first painting.  The look of the painting suggests the height of Ancient Rome. The decadence seen in every detail of this cityscape foreshadows the inevitable fall of this mighty civilization.
In the fourth painting, Destruction, it seems that a fleet of enemy warriors has overthrown the city's defenses, sailed up the river, and is busy ransacking the city and killing its inhabitants.
The fifth painting, Desolation, shows the results decades later. This gloomy picture suggests how all empires could be after their fall. It is a harsh possible future in which humanity has been destroyed by its own hand.

at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
