"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Astonishment.

Eisenstaedt, Graf Zeppelin crewmen repairing damage caused by storm over the South Atlantic Ocean en route to Rio De Janeiro, 1934
