"It opens with a confession. “I am insincere, sinfully not criminally.” The confession (in my copy, at least) takes up 10 pages. I take note of one sin: “In regard to the fine arts, I study the nude, human anatomy generally with no emotion beyond passionate admiration for beauty. I never have been able to find beauty shameful: ugliness yes.”
I picture the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo’s sack of skin." — May 20, 2026 04:03AM

“A short time later, when the carpenter was taking measurements for the coffin, through the window they saw a light rain of tiny yellow flowers falling. They fell on the town all through the night in a silent storm, and they covered the roofs and blocked the doors and smothered the animals who slept outdoors. So many flowers fell from the sky that in the morning the streets were carpeted with a compact cushion and they had to clear them away with shovels and rakes so that the funeral procession could pass by.”
