Thank you so much to everyone that entered this challenge. There were only eight entries but the designs so well matched the quotes/articles that I'm afraid I was unable to discount any of them. Therefore, please vote in the usual way for one of the eight outstanding entries below:

Title: How Many Skies Have Fallen
Quote: Ours is essentially a tragic age. So we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up a new little habitat, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work; there is no smooth road into this future; but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen. - D. H. Lawrence
