In my experience of shame, the other sees all of me and all through me, even if the occasion of shame is on my surface -- for instance, in my appearance; and the expression of shame, in general, as well as in the particular form of it that is embarrassment, is not just the desire to hide, or to hide my face, but the desire to disappear, not to be there. It is not even the wish, as people say, to sink through the floor, but rather the wish that the space occupied by me should be instantaneously empty. With guilt it is not like this. I am more dominated by the thought that even if I disappeared, it would come with me.

It's a damn good idea. And it's a long overdue idea.

We are potentially looking at tens of thousands of pounds. The Hirst and the McCartney are star lots.

We may pass violets looking for roses. We may pass contentment looking for victory.
