I Wonder Why We Crave Infinity So Badly. All Of Our Lives Are Centered So Often Around Legacy, Around

“The Roses of Heliogalabus” By Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1888)

“Oppressit in tricliniis versatilibus parasitos suos violis et floribus, sic ut animam aliqui efflaverint, cum erepere ad summum non possent.”

“In a banqueting-room with a reversible ceiling he once buried his guests in violets and other flowers, so that some were actually smothered to death, being unable to crawl out to the top.”
