Hadrian's Lover (2016)
“Salve!
The World Outside our Walls HNN—Melissa Eagleton Reporting To every child, it is revealed what life is like for the unfortunate living outside Hadrian’s walls: Images of emaciated bodies lying on desert floors. Children starving. Mothers’ breasts bereft of milk. It is truly unfathomable how humanity is still thriving. It is amazing how the words of Dr. Oscar Baumann, written in the late nineteenth century, depict what is happening all over the planet today. “There were women wasted t...o skeletons from whose eyes the madness of starvation glared…warriors scarcely able to crawl on all fours, and apathetic, languishing elders. Swarms of vultures followed them from high, awaiting their certain victims.” The image was frightening enough back then when the calamity of famine only hit one area in Africa, but knowing that this painting of horror is found daily, and in every country but ours, is demoralizing.
Sometimes, I believe it is better not to witness the slow agonizing death throes of humanity’s suicide.MoreLess
