RE: Cityscape Photography - Caracas, Venezuela
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
So you are now quoting Lord of the Rings? Never thought Tolkien would make me so emotional. I guess Maduro and his gang do resemble the Orcs. That would leave me as a hobbit then. (I'm really short)
Yes - it's something I do regularly. Tolkien has always been my favourite author.
I would liken Maduro to Saruman: is given a mandate to help and look after the people of Middle-Earth, promises to fulfill that mandate but uses it to gain more power, corrupts the people under him and seeks to become an ultimate ruler at the expense of everyone else.
