And what there is to conquer
By strength and submission, has already been discovered
Once or twice, or several times, by men whom one cannot hope
To emulate—but there is no competition—

And found and lost again and again: and now, under conditions
That seem unpropitious. But perhaps neither gain nor loss.
For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.- Lines from Four Quartets by TS Eliot; quoted in Things Worth Remembering, by Douglas Murray

Splendid composition! This web makes a fascinating subject because we have become so accustomed to the geometrical webs. I will watch for more of these.
Laurna – Thank you. I only saw this one because the sun was in the right position and it was at the right height for me. Sorta makes you wonder what we miss . . .
