Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
W.B. Yeats

Happy 479th Birthday to Miguel Cervantes who was born #onthisday in 1547 🎂
In his most famous work Don Quixote, the title character charges at windmills, mistaking them for monstrous giants with swords so we're all going up Burgar Hill in #Orkney to tilt at the wind turbines. 🎉
