the radiance of a thousand suns

Hiroshima, Japan, 2014

 

“If the radiance of a thousand suns

Were to burst at once into the sky

That would be like the splendour of the Mighty One...

I am become Death,

The shatterer of worlds."

 

― J. Robert Oppenheimer, quoting from the Bhagavad Gita after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
