Kiki: Yes. Not a lot of scars.”

“What is art,
But life upon the larger scale, the higher,
When, graduating up in a spiral line
Of still expanding and ascending gyres,
It pushes toward the intense significance
Of all things, hungry for the Infinite?
Arts life,and where we live, we suffer and toil.”
