Exploring the ocean of time is more interesting than you can imagine. "Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current; no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away." Marcus Aurelius "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages." William Shakespeare "Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind." Nathaniel Hawthorne "The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once." Albert Einstein Reading is a complex interaction between the text and the reader which is shaped by the reader's prior knowledge, experiences, attitude, and language community which is culturally and socially situated. With the rapid development of modern society, people's lives have changed dramatically. Reading allows me to enter into new worlds and new lives. However, the names of philosophers, authors, and artists show up in lines at times. Some names are familiar, but it's difficult for me to confirm the details immediately. These intermittent pauses break the rhythm of reading on and off. The situation inspired me, so Specus series were born. • Harena - Mesopotamia • Papuros - Egypt • Squama - China • Safranum - India • Ostracon - Greece • Busto - Roman Kingdom, Roman Republic, Roman Empire, Western Roman Empire, and Byzantine Empire • Herba - Italy • Tamesis - the United Kingdom • Sequana - France • Rhenus - Germany • Volga - Russia • Itasca - the United States • Sionainne - Ireland • Columnas - Spain • Esfera - Portugal • Cerasus - Japan • Floresta - Taiwan The apps you've purchased from the App Store between 2015 and 2018 were set to In-App Purchase items of another App, Universitas.
