Humanity’s greatest flaw wasn’t beauty. It was trust. Trust in money. Trust in power. Trust in protection. Trust in faith. She sat alone on the great porch of pristine white. A magnificent southern architect of Victorian embellishment touched with towering Greek columns and antebellum grace. Proud oaks and their willowy hair guarded her dream as wisterias curled around the wrought iron black gates. Such was a visionary excellence to all passerby. Glorious beauty with no depth. Everything within her grasp, but none of it to hold her together.
