THE FUTILE SPLENDOUR OF THE DIVINE...




Interestingly the words contained in the image above are one of those rare bodies of text that cannot be found by simply entering them into a search engine and hitting "find".  

No, to find these words one must actually open the pages of a specific book based on an opera, namely Der Ring des Nibelungen by Richard Wagner, which contains these same words printed with ink upon pulped, dried and flattened wood; one must then navigate to an actual page within said tome and then search the sheet upon which these actual words are to be found.

A time-intensive process, it is not to be recommended.
