the sky's erupting

the story which i had promised earlier-- van gogh falls in love with a woman who cares not for him so dearly. he goes to her house in hopes of seeing her but she refuses to come down. he holds his hand over a burning candle, letting the flame burn him to unconsciousness.

he then writes to his sister:

"I shall love her so long
That in the end she’ll love me too"

you can be van gogh for all love cares--the woman never returns his affections, and van gogh dies unloved by her.

that i thought portrays a picture coupled with all that 'total need' talk of burroughs. been munching on naked lunch and it is way more than i had expected. school's tomorrow and yet another week unfolds.

cheers
