I believe most folks know the story of the Tower of Babylon which, although no Camera Man was present, paints a visionary description of the event. Today the chances are we’d get a far different scene to look at, for modernity, in so many ways, has completely changed both our perspective and attitude. For instance, standing on Terra Firma looking up at Attic windows, we might see Air Conditioner units where once only the rare Window Sash would be seen hanging. Besides which chances are a drunken Cretin, high on Bootleg Ethanol based booze, would be skulking in the shadows. Trampling flowers, be they Dianthus, Asters or shade seeking Hostas. Such is the all too common scene, seen today. Rhymer.
