Glory be, to the tasteless future | Momus Najmi

https://youtu.be/lFJ2PRZ737E 'Glory be, to the tasteless future' When you are done tearing down the walls that blood of others' built, Crumbling the foundations laid down by your fathers' fathers and theirs.

‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost | Poem | The World of Momus Podcast
