WOODLANDDECAY.COM (FUTURE)

In his autumn before the winter comes man’s last mad surge of youth (Sophocles)

I could pretend that I am well-versed in Greek mythology, but I am not. 

The Sophocles quotation was sampled at the start of the Chameleon’s album Script of the Bridge. It offers optimism, tinged with the realism that our decay is inevitable.  At the very least it gives license to write a few more polemical, yet autumnal posts!
