about

"I think... it is somehow very useful, and maybe even essential, for a fine artist to have to somehow make his peace on the canvas with all the things he cannot do.

Eyes downcast and lowly
Troubled mind too full to see

Me, I see everything
With halls uncertainly long
You’ve only to give up the ghost

You are a one who lies in the periphery
Will you join your voice with a thousand hymns?
You’re beautiful
You are

You are, you are
Adorably unadorned
You are adorable unadorned
You are
