Understanding
Is a wig we drag
Out of the closet
     Pretending

A picture is not its color, its form, or its anecdotes, but an intent entity idea whose implications transcend any of its parts.

– Mark Rothko

They use blood for painting and are so filthy that their presence is nauseating. They are by far the most filthy, miserable, wretched beings that we have ever met or known of. No happiness or pleasure can exist with them unless in the simple absence of pain.
