In her ruthless attempts to modernize and reunify a collapsed empire, she resembles a particular figure from the chaos that was twentieth-century Chinese history.

Description:
Welcome to my channel! Here you will find analyses of Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Dragon Prince, The Owl House, and other geeky things. If you're an Avatar diehard like me, I think you'll like what you see.
Ekam sad vipra bahunda vadanti (Sanskrit, translated in English, it's: "The truth is one; learned people speak of it in different ways.")
Perhaps, she says, long ages past away,
And set in western waves our closing day,
Night, Gothic night, again may shade the plains
Where Power is seated, and where Science reigns;
England, the seat of arts, be only known
By the gray ruin and the mouldering stone
-Anna Barbauld, 1811
The country is smashed, mountains and river remain
Trees and rivers grow deep in the city's spring
Moved by the times, flowers are splashed with tears.
Hating separation, birds have frightened hearts.
Signal fires have burned for three months unceasing
A letter from home is worth ten thousand in gold.
I scratch my white hair, ever bare
Not enough left for a hairpin.
-Du Fu, A View of Spring
One lives, knows and has one’s being in the blood, without any reference to nerves and brain. This is one half of life, belonging to the darkness. -D.H. Lawrence to Bertrand Russell
Quid rides? Mutato nomine et de te fabula narratur. -Horace, Satires, 1.1.69-70
Die ich rief, die Geister, / Werd ich nun nicht los. -Goethe, The Sorceror's Apprentice
The music I use during my videos is an ethereal piece called "Vales of Light," which I wrote and performed.
Here's a link to the piece if you want to listen to it outside the context of my analyses: [ Ссылка ]
Traditionally, the music I used for most of these videos was the Eryth Sea theme from Xenoblade Chronicles.
Thanks for watching. Adios, comrades!
