went looking at chattahoochee river bridges today---at u.s. 41/northside parkway, the state's first four-lane bridge (1935) and still in beautiful condition; at roswell road, a great concrete arch bridge (1924) that has been obscured from the roadway by a second bridge built on the upstream side followed by a new deck over both bridges in 1985; and jones bridge (c. 1900), a steel-truss
bridge with only one span still standing---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
