The Lost Generation
Coined by poet Gertrude Stein
Mostly writers, musicians, and painters who questioned accepted ideas about reason, progress, religion, anxieties about the future, and fear of the future
Often settled in Paris, but often moved from city to city trying to find the meaning of life

or meaning to life. Each person creates his or her own meaning in life through actions and choices
taken.

A kind in glass and a cousin, a spectacle and nothing strange a single hurt color and an arrangement in a system to pointing. All this and not ordinary, not unordered in not resembling. The difference is spreading.
