As If

I tend to think that the only cause worth fighting for is a(n) (apparently) lost one.

"Im ruhigen Empfangszimmer,
dessen strenge Uhr eine Zeit vergießt,
die längst ohne Abenteuer und Staunen ist..."

"In the quiet front room,
whose rigorous clock spills a time,
that long since is without adventure and wonder..."

Excerpt from Rosas by Jorge Luis Borges
