All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

He lived then before me, he lived as much as he had ever lived‐a shadow insatiable of splendid appearances, of frightful realities, a shadow darker than the shadow of the night, and draped nobly in the folds of a gorgeous eloquence. The vision seemed to enter the house with me‐the stretcher, the phantom‐bearers, the wild crowd of obedient worshipers, the gloom of the forests, the glitter of the reach between the murky bends, the beat of the drum regular and muffled like the beating of a heart, the heart of a conquering darkness.
Joseph Conrad

“The human race is unimportant. It is the self that must not be betrayed.”

“I suppose one could say that Hitler didn't betray his self.”

“You are right. He did not. But millions of Germans did betray their selves. That was the tragedy. Not that one man had the courage to be evil. But that millions had not the courage to be good. ”
John Fowles, The Magus

I saw "pheasant under glass" when I first looked at this John. After listening to the music and watching the videos, I believe it is "peasant under glass."
Very interesting songs, videos, quotes and creation.
It looks like a golden forest where one can find self satisfying pleasures.
Super production.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

John, as usual you create the resources for us (render, quotes, and music links) and leave the interpretation to us. In this you have never disappointed us when it comes to content and quality. This post is also an excellent example of this.
Great work again!
