And then she asks me, Do I look all right?
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

&
“O live your hand where it lies cool
Upon the eyes whose lids are hot:
Its rosy shade is bountiful
Of silence, and assuages thought.
O lay your lips against your hand
And let me feel your breath through it...”
Dante Gabriel Rossetti

servo, sarà mia vita senza scopo
nella foschia della sventura inutile –
perduto dal palato della mente
il gusto e resa l’ambizione cieca.”
