“Heroic ages are not and never were sentimental and those daring conquistadores who conquered entire worlds for their Spain or Portugal received lamentably little thanks from their kings.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

pale skull protruding under ashen skin
blue veined unconscious girl
in an oxygen tent
