Every night, the lighthouse sends its light across an endless sea.
Yet no one knows if it still reaches anyone.
Those who left never returned,
and the names once whispered have faded into the waves.
Still, the light refuses to die.
Perhaps somewhere beyond the darkness,
a lost soul is still searching for this single beam.
We all spend our lives waiting for someone—or something.
And sometimes, the loneliest light becomes the one that shines the longest.
The saddest light is the one that never gives up.
My favorite example of Perpendicular architecture is the Henry VII Lady Chapel at Westminster Abbey, built from 1503 to 1509.
The pendant fan vaulting is paradigmatic, and the filigreed vault tracery becomes an intricate lace, as if a colossal veil had been draped over the structure to create the ceiling.
