Song of Civilization © Jacqueline Ripstein 1979 Oil on Canvas In the silent echo of vanished civilizations, the human soul rises once more upon the ruins of time. Every fragment holds the memory of what we were; every horizon reveals what we may yet become. Between worlds that emerge and worlds that fade, humanity moves forward, stumbling and awakening, weaving its story through light and shadow. For every civilization has a song; and its song endures beyond its fall, guiding us toward the consciousness of a new dawn.
