Ages persist. The image may never be perfect, but to deny it is to constrain time and space within the imperceptible. There are laws of the Golden Age, just as there are laws of the Heroic and Iron Ages: the Colosseum falls into disrepair; is covered in scaffolding to return it to a previous age; sectioned off for multiple celebrations; is overrun by the spectacle of violence becoming an insurrection; or even falls into silence as time surpasses its need. Just as the arch must contain its arc and entryway the human must combine strength and humility; time its sovereignty over space and nothingness.

The arc of history is man's setting upon his own territory to contend with and reconcile present necessity with eternal laws. Beauty and strength rise as an era seems to surpass the laws of time - the great and monstrous archways towering above the others, and giving a glimpse of what resides within.
