inherent tragedy of progress // PST=people spoil things // Not caring is what has preserved them // I particularly abhor metaphor. Metaphor is fraud. England with all its faults. A country house with all its shortcomings. // Country houses are window dressing, they mitigate nothing // A testament to time. We cannot hold time, though we can put it on hold while we live in the present. // This is not Allegory House. England not. History not. // It took me ages to realize it was for me to make it happen.
