[King Black Robe]

Really? I think it is a beautiful painting, but it is just a painting. It's not a life. Sometimes human perspective can get really screwed up. We groan over the natural deterioration of something like this -- and I do believe it is beautiful -- while tiny living, irreplaceable works of art are destroy through abortion, without a care by many. Not only that, they celebrate the destruction. There is no comparison in value and beauty between the two. The only difference is perceived value -- a statement more about the perceivers than the perceivees.
