I know that it's hard to look at all the new images. Heck, it's hard to look through all the permanent ones. However, I'd appreciate it if a few people would look at my first upload. It's titled, "the unexplored towers at the end of the world". It's a rather arrogant title, but, hey, why not? I'd appreciate any input that comes to mind.
We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses and nymphs and elves—that, though we cannot, yet these projections can enjoy in themselves that beauty, grace, and power of which Nature is the image. That is why the poets tell us such lovely falsehoods. They talk as if the west wind could really sweep into a human soul; but it can’t. They tell us that ‘beauty born of murmuring sound’ will pass into a human face; but it won’t. Or not yet.
—C. S. Lewis
