“Oh, if thy pride did not our joys control,

Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;”
—William Alexander, Earl O Stirling (1580?–1640)

—C.S. (Clive Staples)
“The skylines lit up at dead of night, the air- conditioning systems cooling empty hotels in the desert and artificial light in the middle of the day all have something both demented and admirable about them. The mindless luxury of a rich civilization, and yet of a civilization perhaps as scared to see the lights go out as was the hunter in his primitive night.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
