Shot this photo recently at New Orleans Botanical Gardens.
“Truth and reason
may appear to be crushed
but in our hearts
they remain eternally free,
and from the serene heights of art
the intellect may laugh at the triumph of folly…
Secure in the bond relating it
to all that is best on earth.”
-- Thomas Mann
From DIESER FRIEDE, (THIS PEACE) published in 1938
Mann won the Novel Prize in Literature in 1929.
