Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
W.B. Yeats

Our earth in 1969
Is not the planet I call mine

My Eden landscapes & their climes
Are constructs from Edwardian times
When bathrooms took up lots of space
And, before eating, one said Grace…
W.H. Auden

“Looking at those great works of western man & remembering all that hes achieved in philosophy, poetry, science & law-making, it does seem hard to believe that European civilisation can ever vanish. And yet, you know, it has happened once…”
