EVERY ANGEL IS TERRIFYING

Duino Elegies–Ranier Maria Rilke

New Years Day

New Years Day

January 1, 2018 Jerry King Comments 0 Comment

A friend observed with chagrin that I was too pessimistic in outlook.  I was tempted to compose a detailed justification.  The inclination for a pointless dialog passed.  This quotation sums it up for me:

There are no pessimists; there are only realists and liars.

—Paul Virilio
