Nike of Samothrace, Winged Victory with your head broken off your arms crushed long ago, even your wings are shattered stumps, still you're hailed triumphant beauty. Winged Victory, how many bones carved you; how many men were told to die so you could fly in broken beauty now? ©2003 by icebox |

icebox You made me look up a word...that's good. The Greek goddess of victory. Knowing this helped me understand the strength of the contradictions...Victory causes so much pain, doesn't it? |
