-Socrates
Death is the mother of beauty. Only the perishable can be beautiful, which is why we are unmoved by artificial flowers.

which we are barely able to endure, and it amazes us so,
because it serenely disdains to destroy us.
Every angel is terrible.

Not in looks.
Not in what they say.
Just in what they are.
