…some tender sonnet, fraught with the apt analogy of the declining year, with declining happiness,
and the images of youth and hope and spring all gone together, blessed her memory.

Quotes from Jane Austen’s “Persuasion.”
“…fraught with the apt analogy of the declining year, with declining happiness,
and the images of youth and hope and spring all gone together… .”
Cheery stuff, Luddy. Invigorating, uptempo, and life-affirming.
The first photo immediately reminded me of the legs/arms of a broken manikin. Which is to say, “hope and spring all gone together….”
Well, that’s Jane Austen for you: all broken limbs, invigorated!
Slug-like!!! The pavement is like diamonds!
Haha! Mostly I love that, taken out of context, this comment reads like a beat poem non sequitur!
Interesting photos. What motivates you towards these specifically?

Y’know, I don’t know if I can define it. “The human condition as told through worms”, as I’ve called this series; I like the satire, I guess, the idea that we can’t/shouldn’t take ourselves too seriously.
That’s a great consciousness to hold.
