Catalogue Essay
Including: I'll take my life monotonous (5), You'll be sick if you spend all your time indoors (6), Thus she would come, escaped, half-dead to my door (11), And, with my eyes bolting toward the Unconscious (12), We wanted to bleed the Silence (13), She'll have forgotten her scarf (17), Curtains drawn back from balconies of shores (21), and My life inspires so many desires! (22)
