Lingering, Photogenic Death

“After a day on Mykines, I changed my mind about life not going on. A sort of life was going on, beating with a reasonable version of a pulse, but that life consisted for the most part of travelers like myself. There were maybe a dozen of us — one third of the island’s population. Our tribe could only increase as the Mykines tribe dwindled away, a few falling down steps, most simply emigrating, until there would be, sad to say, only our peripatetic selves. We were the future of all places condemned by remoteness to a lingering, photogenic death”
