Ah, Hubris, thy name is Man. To think that history begins and ends with you. Are our karmic chains visible to only our poets? I refer you to one Tom Eliot, not yet of Master's age, who wrote while last century was yet young:
What is that sound high in the air
Murmur of maternal lamentation
Who are those hooded hordes swarming
Over endless plains, stumbling in cracked earth
Ringed by the flat horizon only
What is the city over the mountains
Cracks and reforms and bursts in the violet air
Falling towers
Jerusalem Athens Alexandria
Vienna London
Unreal
London Bridge is falling down falling down falling down
...
Le Prince d'Aquitaine à la tour abolie
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
...
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a Tass but a Prada.
Or something like that.
And thus arriveth the long-awaited victory of Capitalism, or as it may be better known in the land of Pravda, Running-Dog Capitalist Imperialism.
Apologies all around.
