m is starting The Emperor: Downfall of an Autocrat (Penguin Modern Classics)
"Dear friend, of course I remember. Wasn't it just yesterday? Yesterday, but a century ago. In this city, but on a planet that is now far away. How all these things get confused: times, places, the world broken in pieces, not to be glued back together again. Only the memory--that's the only remnant of life."

THREE PROOFS - Raphael, Saint George and the Dragon, 1504-6

Fervor reduces thought to shorthand and all we get is an icon. Give a man a weapon and you have a warrior. Put him on a horse and you have a hero. The weapon is a tool. The horse is a metaphor.

One.

You play, you win, you play, you lose. You play. It's the playing that's irresistible. Dicing from one year to the next with the things you love, what you risk reveals what you value.

The woman pulls away, kisses me and disappears with her sparkling heels. Queen of Heaven, go with her.

Sequester my heart.

Wherever love is, I want to be, I will follow it as surely as the land-locked salmon finds the sea.

Faces of History in the Historia Augusta:

It is just when realities vanish that man's talent to satisfy himself with mere words functions at full tilt. Once Rome has vanished, its ghost will have a persistent life.
