Nocturne #8 in D Flat

",and it's the most beautiful thing I could tell you about."

"All I wanted to do was try to live the life that was inside me, trying to get out.
Why was that so hard?"

VIA Demian, Herman Hesse

"Modesty brings success.
It is the way of heaven ti shine its light
downward to create radiance.
It is the way of the earth to move ever upward.
It is the way of heaven to fill the empty
and increase the modest.
Spirits and gods bring harm to what is full
and prosperity to what is modest.
It is the way of men to hate fullness
and to love the modest.
Modesty spreads radiance.
Modesty cannot be ignored.
This is the end attained by the superior man."
