"The Wolf" As A Image Within A Memory That Does Not Exist

The myth that the Capitoline Wolf helped found Rome which we see as the great empire that fell. Rome can be seen as a great disorder because of all the chaos within that lead to the downfall. We speak of Rome as a great failure because we except that all things need to be destroyed so new things may take it's place. What happens when the old dying thing does not die fully? We see the sick dog in the streets as the "sick dog" not the name it was given whatever that it. So the sick dog is constantly replaced by another sick dog making a cycle that never ends. This is the method of how poetic tropes survive. As much as we want the sick dig to die we don't allow it out of_____ Omelas comes to mind. "though the wolf/ is only remembered in her prime, and not as she must/ have been years later, after all that would pass had passes." The final lines make the memory of the wolf as we remembered it not as fact by based on our idea of "the wolf" because within a memory the wolf is now just an idea with a image attached but cannot been seen by others because everyone else has their own image the wolf.

We remember Rome for the glory and power it stood full, but respect it enough to admit to it's death so our existence can be justified within our own head. I think the wolf is that image of what our memories can be and show us how we allow death, as a concept within our memory, for certain things to make our actions ok, but if it does not directly connect to us then we could careless and only remember what was important to us. The prime of the wolf life or the things within our memory that seemed to be the prime to us.
