Alexandra’s Reviews > Black Sun: The Brief Transit and Violent Eclipse of Harry Crosby > Status Update

Harry filled his emptiness with flying, and with friends, who were for a time a solace. And with booze and drugs. And with novelties and pretty girls and dangerous women. And with the worship of art, and the courtship of madness, and pagan rites. All led, by degrees, to emptiness. The emptiness was not sharp, like sudden hunger, or painful like the loss of love. It was a want unsatisfied, evidently unsatisfiable.
