The Land of the Living

Recently, I've been looking at Cyber Monday sales, modern art, and WWI literature. Modcloth- that lovely store I'm want to talk about- is having a 20% off sale. My local art museum has a new mid-century to early 2000s modern furniture exhibit. And, lastly, the poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" is running through my head, mainly the Latin. World War I changed literature dramatically, and this line certainly helped things along: the idea that "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" isn't true at all.
