After a fair bit of searching and filtering I finally came across a man called Emil Cioran. The quote of his that caught my attention was his wonderful description of fire:
“The beauty of flames lies in their strange
play, beyond all proportion and harmony. Their diaphanous flare symbolizes at
once grace and tragedy, innocence and despair, sadness and voluptuousness."
The full quote can be found here, but just a warning; his stuff gets pretty heavy. I found myself in a state of mild pessimistic self-contemplation after reading more of his work. So I cheered myself up by drawing some pictures of gorillas. (That may or may not be explained in a later post)
