Robert Smith turned 52 yesterday.
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

Still Life with Wine Goblet and Oysters, Pieter Claesz, ca. 1630.
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. Since man is mortal, the only immortality possible for him is to leave something behind him that is immortal since it will always move. This is the artist’s way of scribbling “Kilroy was here” on the wall of the final and irrevocable oblivion through which he must someday pass.
—William Faulkner. Interview from The Paris Review. No. 12. 1956.
