Nihil Novum Est Sub Sole

I expect I ought to explain the title, and everything... It is a quote from the Vulgate, the book of Ecclesiastes. It translates as "There is nothing new under the sun" - a thought I have always found to be extremely comforting. The URL - ecce universa vanitas - basically means that everything is vanity. Deflating, perhaps, but nonetheless comforting. It takes the pressure off, so to speak.
