Passion
of New Orleans |
|
|
| Looking
into the windows of this world. History of a city built on corruption
and hedonism. Search for the New World and New Orleans was built.
Fifteen feet below sea level in a swamp. But the Mississippi surrounds
us with its power and grace. The fury of fire and flood has destroyed
this city entirely five times since 1820. Each time the city has enough
passion and love to recreate itself. A phoenix rising from the ash
and the mire. The majick to enchant the river enough not to drown
us. The rains caring enough to wash our city clean from thyme to thyme.
The oaks are rampant down here. The minute seeds planted in our swamp
lands have taken root. The oaks line the streets and cover us from
intense glare of the overhead sun. The oaks protect our inhibitants
from the days penetrating gaze. |
