"Human history is a lot like this."


Photo from Two Rivers:  A Journey Through Central Asia by Caroline Drake.
Text by Elif Batuman whose caption for the photo above is:
"The wild goose, subject of so many chases, sticks out his neck.  The
wild goose chase was originally a horse race with no fixed course: the
rider in the lead improvised the route, until someone passed him.
Human history is a lot like that."

into the void.
