Or dost thou burn, a mournful star, consuming me in fire?
Shall I endure the whims of your silence,
Till my dissolution kindle the flame eternal?

All the noble arts corrupted into the theatre of the last man, who, incapable of creation, seeks solace in destruction And so, under banners of «freedom» and «originality» the modern artist laborst to bury and to suffocate the turth beneath the debris of a crumbling soul.
