Nostalgia can be either restorative or reflective in nature. In the first you want to harken back to a time or place that went missing, meaning there is a home, a place to return to. Fragile rather finds its place in the latter category, a yearning for a place that never existed and thus there is no way of retrieving it. Fragile for ...
