The weathered political posters on the door of a village house symbolize the transient nature of political life itself. Winners and losers come and go here. Yesterday’s victory may well have become today’s defeat. The candidate at left still seems to survive, while the candidate on the right has long since fragmented into oblivion. Of course I have no idea if either of these candidates won or lost, or are currently still in office. But given the tattered nature of the posters, I would guess that both might well be yesterday’s news.
