Then the syncretist Ficino, sitting hunched with Lorenzo standing at his side, put all the ideas together, along with Lorenzo's new song: chariots blazing between the worlds as gods fought rebel gods, the destruction of a city -- a planet? -- by fire, beasts beyond imagining both to terrify and befriend the heroes. "It needs a title," Signorina Scala said. Pulci had his mouth open, but Ficino beat him to the pun. "It shall be dedicated to Isis and Mars," he said, "and we will call it Stella Martis. ↗

This is torture, torture, torture. Why is this so hard?? I survived whole days not talking to you before. What happened??? I'm not as nice in the world today. I am scowly.

I am going to sit back. I am not waiting. Because waiting will mean expecting and that, will hurt. I am just sitting back looking at you. I am making sure that when it does happen, and whatever that may be, I will remember you. I will remember the way you smile, I will remember your eyes and the fine lines around them when you throw back your head and laugh, I will remember you hands, the fingers I held in mine even if for a fleeting moment. I will remember the way your hair kisses your forehead and how you walk. toward me, and away. ↗
