"Sometimes people... «The Moon and Sixpence»
sex_vodka13 декабря 2009"Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem. But in his book oк in his picture the real man delivers himself defenceless. His pretentiousness will only expose his vacuity. The lathe painted to look like iron is seen to be but a lathe. No affectation of peculiarity can conceal a commonplace mind. To the acute observer no one can produce the most casual work without disclosing the innermost secrets of his soul."
