Romeo and Juliet | Act II, Scene 2
"It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon, Who is already sick and pale with grief, That thou her maid art far more fair than she. It is my lady, O, it is my love! O, that she knew she were!"

brief history: Gustave Courbets piece the wounded man is a romantic self portrait by the realist artist. created in Museé d’Orsay, Paris, it used to contain a woman laying on his shoulder but he further replaced it with a blade and some blood stains on his chest, symbolizing heartache, after his divorce from Virginia Binet, his wife of 14 years and mother of his one son.

"Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time.
Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, the only fact we have. It seems to me that one ought to rejoice in the fact of death--ought to decide, indeed, to earn one's death by confronting with passion the conundrum of life. One is responsible for life: It is the small beacon in that terrifying darkness from which we come and to which we shall return."
~James Baldwin
