Mars Seems Lonely

What the Philosophers say about reality is often as deceptive as when you see a sign in a second-hand store that reads: Pressing Done Here. If you went in with your clothes to have them pressed you would be fooled; the sign is for sale.

A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.

i love this picture and yes it does look lonely. It is really pretty with the moon and the dusk though.
That's no moon... it's the sun.
It's a beautiful kind of lonliness...
