Here's a painting to lift your spirits @dreamergirl2110 , by the great English artist, Joseph Mallord William Turner. Art is a bridge between cultures and- in this world full of disappointments- a constant source of joy, maybe the most reliable we have. https://t.co/zbdVzsd7As
"If we could only take one memory on our journey, what would we choose?"
It's that time of the year. "We are the sum of the ghosts that haunt us". Again. Pause a moment, look back, remember...

"I love the Christmas-tide, and yet,
I notice this, each year I live;
I always like the gifts I get,
But how I love the gifts I give!"

"And when, in the city in which I love you,
even my most excellent song goes unanswered,
and I mount the scabbed streets,
the long shouts of avenues,
and tunnel sunken night in search of you..."

Whether recent or old, the works of @twschaller genuinely touch a chord with the viewer. Whether recent or old, his artistic fingerprint is easily recognizable.
"Whoever looks on this,
Loses himself in eternity;
And entering the sacred mountains...
He will dream among the resplendent clouds."
