“I Can Read You Like A Book And Because The Thing About A Beloved Book, If It’s A Good One, Is That

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.

The last milestone

A heart in dissolution

The defeat is taking form

Reaching the turning point

A desperate call

It's approaching

Falling

It's near

The last milestone

Crawling

It's here

Isolated

Dancing the last dance

It's approaching

Falling

It's near

The last milestone

Crawling

It's here

It's approaching

Far beyond

The last milestone

Reaching the last floor

“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
