Marlene, minha caixa de Faber Castell de quando eu tinha 13 anos
new year, old stuff
Marlene, my Faber Castell's box from when I was 13
"Every man has a secret in him, many die without finding it, and will never find it because they are dead, it no longer exists, nor do they. I am dead and risen again with the jeweled key of my last spiritual casket. It is up to me now to open it in the absence of any borrowed impression, and its mystery will emanate in a sky of great beauty"
letter from Mallarmé to Aubanel, from July 16th 1866
