Partying like the world was coming to an end...and, perhaps for them, it *was*...

Oh, I know there are cognates on other continents, and the baptized versions from Christianity, but I suspect there was nothing else quite like the real thing from classical antiquity.

John William Godward's dream of that time and place: "An Offering to Venus".

If I was a child I would like to have a nanny like this girl

She has that look about her where you can't tell if she's happy because a special someone is coming from across the ocean...or precisely because that special someone is away, far beyond the horizon...

By Alfred Stevens: "Looking Out to Sea".

Looks like a goddess of California in full bloom, only this isn't Flower Power, it's Art Nouveau (but then again all the proto-hippies *were* on the old continent back in the 1890s...).

From the master himself, Alfons Mucha: "Flower".

DAE think this maiden's hair length is just ridiculous...but it only makes it all the more awesome. And hey, for the embodiment of this season, it's a great look...for it's when the world comes back to life.

Okay, I admit, I'd probably be growing grapevines in some vain effort to make wine, but I'd *love* a little place like this to post on here from...or even be with a book. Something like "The Lord of the Rings", even "Dune" again...

Charles James Lewis's capture of a vibe: "Reading by the Window".

Somehow our modern-day ruins just don't have the atmosphere of our counterparts from antiquity...or perhaps history has not had enough time to become legend...let alone myth.

A painting of classical ruins with a maiden in the foreground, by Eduard Büchler.
