father of eros, hephaestus worked steadily at the forge turning out worlds—just think of achilles' shield. in metal he could show us the ideal—the twin cities at peace or at war, but he did not state that the ideal was attainable—he only imagined it. one should wonder whether we need to hold up the ideal as the height of human achievement or to keep it in our minds to influence our ways.
when deciding, we should remember that hephaestus also created harmonia's necklase. the god in the depths is both destroyer and creator.
while i write this, i am pondering writing a poem on the atocha station, a station i only stopped at three or four times.
