eternal beauty

His presence is unique with a shaky beauty that seems to fade at any moment.

The artist's floating lust, expectation and longing for beauty make him feel ashamed after his brief contact with the teenager. He tried to deny it, but it turned out to make him more sure of his feelings. "I don't allow you to smile like that to others." After leaving and coming back, is his reason to prevaricate others or convince himself? There is always beauty that is worth dying for. The beach reminds me of a story I read before. Many seabirds like to bathe on the beach, but they will often change places to prevent infectious diseases. There is a beach, the sand is very good, the birds are reluctant to leave, always here. Here, the results are predictable. The performance of the Wanderers was a little scary, their singing was like hair dye that would be washed off and white on the face. Whitewash to cover up those fears. The beauty of youth becomes the eternity of the artist and the eternity of Bern Anderson

Death in Venice quotes

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: I remember we had one of these in my father's house. The aperture through which the sand runs is so tiny that... that first it seems as if the level in the upper glass never changes. To our eyes it appears that the sand runs out only... only at the end... and until it does, it's not worth thinking about... 'til the last moment... when there's no more time left to think about it.

  • Gustav von Aschenbach: You know sometimes I think that artists are rather like hunters aiming in the dark. They don't know what their target is, and they don't know if they've hit it. But you can't expect life to illuminate the target and steady your aim. The creation of beauty and purity is a spiritual act.

    Alfred: No Gustav, no. Beauty belongs to the senses. Only to the senses.
