“Whatever is destroyed, the act of destruction does not vary much. Beauty if vapour from the pit of death.” ― J. A. Baker

Quote (destruction):

“Whatever is destroyed, the act of destruction does not vary much. Beauty if vapour from the pit of death.”

― J. A. Baker, The Peregrine: The Hill of Summer Diaries: The Complete Works of J. A. Baker

Explanation (destruction):

This quote from J.A. Baker’s book “The Peregrine” seems to convey the idea that destruction is a universal phenomenon that does not change regardless of what is being destroyed. The reference to beauty being “vapour from the pit of death” suggests that even beautiful things are fleeting and will eventually be destroyed or fade away. The quote can be interpreted as a reflection on the transience of life and the inevitability of death, and how even things that we consider beautiful and precious are ultimately subject to destruction.
