WELCOME TO:
✹ SOUTHERN EUROPE, CIRCA 1474 ✹

Beauty is terror. This much has been said by writers and philosophers since the dawn of language; beauty is the knife, the rope around the neck. Beauty is the sublime killer. But it is the crux of art, and the Rennaissance is alive and well, and there is nothing to be done. Ambroise de Sudbaye-- an angel or the Antichrist, take your pick-- is the most beautiful person in Europa. There is nothing to be done about this, either.
