Pontem perpetui mansuram in saecula mundi.

Caius Julius Lacer, engineer of the Puente Romano de Alcantara.

“The Man who Built the Bridge.”
Here at the Golden Gate is the
Eternal Rainbow that he conceived
And set to form, a promise indeed
That the race of man shall
Endure unto the Ages.

with one comment

What happens when you drop a yellow hat into the Red Sea?

Why didn’t the skeleton cross the road?

What goes up a chimney down, but not down a chimney up?
