Views of Athenian Ruins

 

The Athenians, alarmed at the internal decay of their Republic, asked Demosthenes what to do. 
His reply: “Do not do what you are doing now.” ~Joseph Ray

We humans are a funny lot, aren’t we?  We expect more from life than what it’s giving us, yet we seldom offer it more than what we’ve been giving it.  Why would it suddenly shift all on its own? 

….”Do not do what you’re doing now.”  Perfect.

The art print above, Views of Athenian Ruins by Stuart Revett, is from All Posters.com.  The artist has a series of Athenian art prints - each as beautifully dramatic as the one before.
