chased by monsters at dead ends

I didn't go out looking to be famous.
I'm just a musician.

[Modigliani's] colour is sensuously, mysteriously (how did he achieve that glow and bloom?) articulated to the present, to the tangible and to what extends in space, and it is also emblematic. The radiance of the body becomes an emblematic field of intimacy. It is at one and the same time body, and the aura of that body as lovingly perceived by another.
