"Paint. Just paint. This is my advice. And leave the clever talk to the poor sods who can´t"
Henry Breasley in The Ebony Tower
" The princess calls, but there is no one, now, to hear her"
The Cloud
"The tender pragmatisms of flesh have poetries no enigma - human or divine - can deminish or demeanor. Indeed, it can only cause them, and then walk out."
The Enigma
