[ Reflection (Self-Portrait) ; Lucian Freud, 1985]..........

Wind pushing light all over the place outside. Cold, another wall. Physicists now say the universe is limitless, all theory must be reformulated. Talk which ignores the substantive core of the human body is useless. Recently I picked up a book of anatomy illustrated limb by limb, organ by organ, with color photographs. It's a complex, horrid mass of cells after the living skin is gone. When are you coming up to bed?
