Dear Friends...

It has been a long time with you, dear friends.

From Ancient Greece and Sappho, through the Roman Empire and the peace of Octavian Augustus, to the Middle Ages and the Divine Comedy...

Through the Renaissance and the brilliant works of Leonardo Da Vinci, through the Baroque and its majestic architecture, to the Enlightenment in which we stood for your laws and Romanticism, which was a direction we created ourselves...

We were craftsmen, philosophers, artists...

We created your ornamental architecture, fashion and literature...

You replaced eclectic buildings with grey brick and concrete with plastic shutters...

You replaced pastel bows and ruffles with meaningless inscriptions on T-shirts...

You abandoned literature in favor of short films...

And we are here again, still with you, because we love you so much.

But this time we feel a little different...

To paraphrase that sentiment from on high, I suppose we could mingle it with a current phrase:

"We have learned nothing.
We will be happy."

I would post a photo that would explain more of what I mind behind 'us', but I don't know how to do it on this site...

Hint:
Glitter and seashells.

a reply to: Agleaya

Seashells crushed down to grains of sand, glitter on the seashore, and yet there are more stars in the universe glowing with light, than there are grains of sand on this spec of dust we call Earth.

Hi Agleaya, have a look here for instructions on how to post pictures.

The most important thing to remember before you start is that images need to be in .gif, .png or .jpg (not .jpeg) format and under 2Mb.

To add: "You will learn nothing, and be happy with that".

Were you responsible for this?



nununu

It looks like they are no longer selling the demon dolls.

Or maybe this is the sort of things you are referring to, when you say:

You replaced eclectic buildings with grey brick and concrete with plastic shutters...

You replaced pastel bows and ruffles with meaningless inscriptions on T-shirts...

Make the Culture of Tartaria Live Again ! ...............

that was a really fun poem. Took me somewhere else with the wordsmithing of a judicial lyricist. You took me to a place that begs the question, "Why didn't I think of that"?
