* News
note: Michelangelo trashed early work that he thought wasn’t up to snuff.
En route to the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, home to a big Michelangelo drawing show (Dec. 1).
How do you put
your stamp on humanity if not to be a destroyer of worlds, in Michelangelo’s
case that of his early work that would be, if it were to fall into the hands of
his enemies, used against him?
What measures you
take to be marked as a god (goddess) on Earth, removed from the quotidian. Ah,
to not be a slave to that … To be a writer, a painter, an editor, a husband, a
father, a friend, an uncle, a reader, a runner, a singer, an enthusiast of
science in equal parts.
Renaissance? Or living the life in as full a manner as you're capable?
