Life

Life is pointless as a striving, but marvellous as an allowance. 

1912, Ernest Claypole. The American annual of photography, Harold B. Lee Library via Brigham Young University

The thing you fear

Listen to the silence.

Peer at the shadow.

Let it come.

1778, Anger, Envy, and Fear; George Romney. Yale Centre for British Art.

Cost

What’s the point of my liberation,

if a grass flower somewhere still has to weep?

2017, Silence: Максим Барбухин.
