What's It Worth?

[Maraya Loza Koxahn]

One thousand and one pictures can never near the worth of one word. A word that has kept us curious for more years than any of us care to count. It has inspired poetry and song, art and dance, gardens and architecture – spaces in which to worship its omnipresence. It has inspired inconceivable torture, death and destruction. One thousand and one pictures could never capture, could never express, the depth and breadth, the magnitude and magnificence of so few letters. In the beginning was the unknowable word and in the end it shall remain.
