The West made awe into an argument for human greatness. Taoism made it into an invitation to stop arguing.

‘... Our destination is a crater about 195 miles (ca. 314 km) as the rocket flies, but about 250 miles off by lunar tractor. This crater, called Harpalus, is the most interesting one within reach - 24 miles (402 km) across with a surrounding ridge 3,100 feet high, and a depth of almost 11,000 feet from peak to bottom.’ Image from https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-great-1952-space-program-453511252 Text from From the complete article, posted at http://www.aiaahouston.org/Horizons/Horizons_2012_11_and_12_high_resolution.pdf

‘Dyce’s painting was the product of a trip he made in the autumn of 1858 to the popular holiday resort of Pegwell Bay near Ramsgate, on the east coast of Kent. It shows various members of his family gathering shells. The artist’s interest in geology is shown by his careful recording of the flint-encrusted strata and eroded faces of the chalk cliffs. The barely visible trail of Donati’s comet in the sky places the human activities in far broader dimensions of time and space.’ https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/dyce-pegwell-bay-kent-a-recollection-of-october-5th-1858-n01407 3.10.22

A little bit of German Romanticism for a bitter, winter season (in more ways than one)
(The video felt like the warm comfort of a whiskey.)
