A neighbour lent me this in case you're wondering what on earth i'm doing reading something like this. Holy simile batman... holy historical inaccuracy batman... I do feel bad though because the author is literally my neighbour's pilates instructor LMFAO. Eyes rolling into the back of my head the whole time so far

SO GOOD

"What is honour compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms ... or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy."

For ARTT1106 - but I think I'll read the other two essays while I'm here, just for fun. Love the start of 'The Painter of Modern Life', but trails off towards the end. Interesting nonetheless. "By 'modernity' I mean the ephemeral, the fugitive, the contingent, the half of art whose other half is the eternal and the immutable." "[...] genius is nothing more or less than childhood recovered at will"
