Cafè noir
“Life is the schema of freedom”, or so Schelling thought. He had yet to face the annihilation of his own soul, doomed like any other by the only real ruler: time. That’s why we write, compose, create: it’s a desperate attempt to free ourselves from the claws of our only true master, trying to leave a trace of the unfair battle in which we daily engage to survive ourselves.
