Little golden cloudlets, like winged living creatures, were hanging high up in the rosy glow above Santa Maria della Salute, and all along the Grand Canal the crowded gondolas were floating in a golden haze, and all the westward-facing palace windows flashed and shone with an illumination which the lamps and lanterns that were to be lighted after sundown could never equal, burnt they never so merrily. It was Shrove Tuesday in Venice, Carnival time. The sun had been shining on the city and on the lagunes all day long. It was one of those Shrove Tuesdays which recall the familiar proverb"Sunshine at Carnival,Fireside at Easter."

The last notes of a favorite waltz resounded through the splendid saloons of Mrs. Montresors mansion in Grosvenor Square; sparkling eyes and glittering jewels flashed in the lamp-light; the rival queens of rank and beauty shone side by side upon the aristocratic crowd; the rich perfumes of exotic blossoms floated on the air; brave men and lovely women were met together to assist the farewell ball given by the wealthy American, Mrs. Montresor, on her departure for New Orleans with her lovely niece, Adelaide Horton, whose charming face and sprightly manners had been the admiration of all London during the season of 1860.The haughty English beauties were by no means pleased to see the sensation made by the charms of the vivacious young American, whose brilliant and joyous nature contrasted strongly with the proud and languid daughters of fashion who entrenched themselves behind a barrier of icy reserve, which often repelled their admirers.

Vivemos em uma era de extremos. De um lado, estamos rodeados por tecnologias de ponta, possibilidades infinitas e avanços científicos impressionantes; do outro, enfrentamos catástrofes ambientais, guerras interminaveis, desigualdades sociais esmagadoras e crises espirituais sem precedentes. Em meio a esse cenario, a indiferença se tornou nossa maior aliada e nosso maior inimigo. As pessoas seguem com suas rotinas, pagando contas, fazendo negocios, casando e divorciando, como se o mundo no estivesse a beira de um colapso. Enquanto continuamos a lucrar com a destruiço, a exploraço e o vicio, a sensaço de que ja vivemos em um apocalipse silencioso se torna inevitavel.
