and so it happened here

.





Zeus on Olympus dispenses many fates;
The gods bring many things surprisingly to pass.
That which we expected does not happen;
A god finds means to bring about the unexpected.
And so it happened here.

Euripides

    Great quote.

    Beautiful painting from an artist I am unfamiliar with, me the art history major!

    Peace be with you.
