Gone with the wind

But I was desolate and sick of an old passion

They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
    Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
   Within a dream.



... Ernest Dowson (1867-1900),  English poet

An inescapable condition presaging non-existence

Self educated and self taught

"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone".


   ... Orson Welles (1915-1985), american actor, director, writer, and producer
