Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come.

Terry Jones on Barbarians

Decline and fall of the Roman myth - Newspaper Edition - Times Online

The Romans kept the Barbarians at bay for as long as they could, but finally they were engulfed and the savage hordes overran the empire, destroying the cultural achievements of centuries. The light of reason and civilisation was almost snuffed out by the Barbarians, who annihilated everything that the Romans had put in place, sacking Rome itself and consigning Europe to the Dark Ages. The Barbarians brought only chaos and ignorance, until the renaissance rekindled the fires of Roman learning and art.

It is a familiar story, and it’s codswallop

  1. hi, spot on, i can show how, when and, why , that we still live in this romanized politial abyss. there is a building that tells the story, and consquences of accepting the roman way. it shows the self-governing society created with a child centred culture (celtic/gnostic) and the baron desert of roman monoculture, parent centered culture, roman (catholic) want to know more? this place is the link between the western capitalist world and soul based world of sacred inspired child, but it is blinded from dogmatic people by the instilling of “frozen terrors” at infanthood. i have also discovered the ante-dote to these frozen terrors. the romans not only wanted our gold but are craft skills! mike.
