I like bridges
Bridges are symbols of communication and forward projection
They stand against the void, and challenge waters and winds
They are the first to be built when a city starts growing, the first to be destroyed when a war is declared
They carry the name of important people and places
The ancient Romans won many of their battles because they were able to build a bridge overnight
In the Middle Age drawbridges guarded fortresses and castles, welcoming friends and shutting out enemies
One of my favourites short stories is The Angel of The Bridge by John Cheever |
