Description:
The sunset melts into moon glow. A reminder of…..
Princeton -The Last Day
a poem by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The last light wanes and drifts across the land,
The low, long land, the sunny land of spires.
The ghosts of evening tune again their lyres
And wander singing, in a plaintive band
Down the long corridors of trees. Pale fires
Echo the night from tower top to tower.
Oh sleep that dreams and dream that never tires,
Press from the petals of the lotus-flower
Something of this to keep, the essence of an hour!
No more to wait the twilight of the moon
In this sequestrated vale of star and spire;
For one, eternal morning of desire
Passes to time and earthy afternoon.
Here, Heracletus, did you build of fire
And changing stuffs your prophecy far hurled
Down the dead years; this midnight I aspire
To see, mirrored among the embers, curled
In flame, the splendor and the sadness of the world.

Dan<br />What is it about an engineer's brain that has to see symmetry in everything?<br />....just a reflection on my part...<br /><br />Keep 'em coming.

'Symmetry means rest and tie, asymmetry means movement and detachment. Order and law here, arbitrariness and chance there; stiffness and compulsion here, liveliness, play, and freedom there. […] On the one extreme…the stiffness of complete standstill; on the other… the equally terrifying formlessness of chaos. Somewhere at the ladder between the two extremes, every style, every individual, and every artwork finds its own particular place.'<br /><br />Rudolf Arnheim, Psychologist<br />from 'New Essays on the Psychology of Art'<br /><br />Maybe engineers are symmetry extremists?
