This morning I was reminded of W. H. Auden's poem called Musee des Beaux Arts.
Whilst an ambulance was taking an old neighbour dying of bone cancer to a hospice there were 2 young girls being videoed by mum and dad on their bikes. Life goes on.
The poem highlights how Icarus fell from the sky, but most people just carried on.
