“ Trust him not with your secrets, who, when left alone in your room, turns over your papers. ”

~ Johann Kaspar Lavater
Make this poor self grow less and less, Be Thou my life and aim ; Oh, make me daily, through Thy grace, More worthy of Thy name.
About Fuseli: ...the most original genius I know. Nothing but energy, profusion and calm! The wildness of the warrior—and the feeling of supreme sublimity! … His spirits are storm wind, his ministers flames of fire! He goes upon the wings of the wind. His laughter is the mockery of hell and his love—a deadly lightning-flash.
The great rule of moral conduct is next to God to respect Time.
