Chaotichandle - SANTA.

“I had observed that the men who were most in life, who were molding life, who were life itself, ate little, slept little, owned little or nothing. They had no illusions about duty, or the perpetuation of their kith and kin, or the preservation of the State. They were interested in truth and in truth alone. They recognized only one kind of activity — creation. Nobody could command their services because they had of their own pledged themselves to give all. They gave gratuitously, because that is the only way to give.”

— Henry Miller, The Rosy Crucifixion

‏الكل يسبح في حمام دماءٍ والكون بطياته يلزم ما أُملى عليه أن يكون ماهيته الحقيقية، قاسٍ كالفلاذ.

Figure.

First time I met the word "Figure" was about David of Michael Angelo and till now I imagine the statue once I meet this word. It's good feeling to have a memory connecting a word and an artistic masterpiece.
