Lost Heritage
In search of lost heritage.
"Everyone feels secretly drawn to ruins. It is an emotion that springs from our natural fragility, from a secret similarity between the destroyed monuments and the brevity of existence. Added to this moreover is a feeling which comforts us in the littleness of life: we see that entire peoples, and sometimes very famous men, were not able to live any longer than the small number of days allocated to our own obscurity"
Chateaubriand, Le Génie du christianisme
