“I am being joyful in this very instant because I refuse to be defeated: so I love. As an answer. Impersonal love, it love, is love: even the love that doesn’t work out, even the love that ends.”
Perspective view of the dome area within the home and museum of John Soane at 13 Lincoln’s Inn Fields, c.1813 by Joseph Michael Gandy (English, 1771–1843)
