And high above us, clouds are draped like sashes of color across the sky. Amethyst, azure, jade. ↗

Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing. ↗
