“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Overall interesting though the thesis is rather simple: http://epaperbeta.timesofindia.com/Article.aspx?eid=31808&articlexml=Elephant-Trunks-And-Cow-Heads-08112014016026

Best.
Thanks for sharing. It had a very valid thesis, one I hadn't previously considered. :)
Best, back at ya!
It compliments the following from Nietzsche:
"Nothing is beautiful, except for man alone: all aesthetics rests upon this naïveté."
"Nothing is ugly, except the degenerating man."
"His feeling of power, his courage, his pride - all fall with the ugly and rise with the beautiful."
"Only as an aesthetic product can the world be justified to all eternity."
:P
Only as an aesthetic product can the world be justified to all eternity.
Indeed. :)
