I absolutely believe the legend of the wolf.

I spent a month in Italy, mostly Rome a few years ago visiting friends, a doctor and architect. The architect was all in favor of bulldozing all of Rome's ancient monuments and sites and replacing them with new roads and buildings.......he's tired of living in a museum and getting stuck in traffice that winds hither and thither at rush hour around the ruins rather than straight thru.

Such poetic sentiments could only be expressed by one whose ancestors were suckled by a wolf.

Sounds like the architect is (lu)pining for somethin' he's not gonna get.

Howl can one immersed in this den of antiquity truly appreciate it, though? Alpha bet he'll miss this treasure when it's gone.
