The old world



k

The last notes of a crumbling world. The faded photographs, drained of colour. But once, a long time ago, I have heard it said: life and religion were full of colour...

Is this the last generation? The last time a child will look at a white butterfly caught in a staggering flight and ask: why? Is this the last generation to ask what the heart has lost?
