Reading Dirce | Alexandria
Read Dirce by Walter Savage Landor. Revealing how icons crumble, Landor's radical view of impermanence shattered Victorian ideals of lasting fame. His prophetic insight - that history's "great figures" fade while small, forgotten moments endure - speaks powerfully to our social media age. By embracing transience, he argued, we find deeper meaning than in our desperate grasp for immortality.
