from Melancholy of the Autumn Garden
There's no such thing as the completely wasted life,
Just lives of varying degrees of opacity and transparency,
Through which the limits of the visible appear.
Just lives of varying degrees of opacity and transparency,
Through which the limits of the visible appear.
