Random Thought

Found this image while searching for something else.

Prompted a sudden surge of words from me.
The drawing(a very good one) seems to embody the tragic silence that comes to embrace a thing/event/structure whose traces have been completely lost on the sands of time and forgotten by almost everyone…so much so, that they almost seem beautiful, by virtue of their inconsequence to the current 'world of men’.
Or may be they stand and inspire artists simply as a reminder to men that all of human life is simply a flash of lightning in the infinite expanse of space-time…may be they offer to the sub-conscious, a glimpse of the big-picture…or perhaps the lack of one.
