The mirror reflects all objects without being sullied

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

The mind of the painter must resemble a mirror, which always takes the colour of the object it reflects and is completely occupied by the images of as many objects as are in front of it.

I fell like a celibate hustler
A stained & sullied spirit...
Halfway between freaky and holy

The grasp of objects that bind us to some betokening.

Credit is like a looking - glass, which when once sullied by a breath, may be wiped clean again; but if once cracked can never be repaired
