Haunted, abandoned places and the " vanity of human life "

Well, for whatever reasons institutions , people , places ( like old neighborhoods ) -with all their virtues and flaws - fade into the past . Reading OLD magazines and newspapers can only reinforce a sense of the " vanity of human life ".

 

  We are all almost condemned to play some well defined " role " for so long then depart from the human stage.

        We recover our REAL self in solitary walks in the woods or in visits to old abandoned or haunted places.

           Are there ghosts whispering in the walls of 75 Fountain St. ? Sometimes they give friendly and kindly advice. Read Tolstoy's " The Death of Ivan Illyich ".
