The artist as a prophet, a poet, a figure bridging life and death, presence and transcendence, at the same time.
The raven, a magical bird and wanderer between worlds in many mythologies and stories.
A solo re-made for the memory of a woman met one single time in life.
"The pain is to remind of us. From it we will later, when we meet again, if there is a later, recognize each other. The light faded. Has faded. They're coming."

How few times, I of all should know, did a God come down to speak through us. But how often did we need the Gods' advice. So what did it matter if he, Helenos proclaimed that the Greek would never conquer our city except through the Skaeic Gate. Which he personally also thought was correct and had the very desirable effect that the guards at the Skaeic Gate would be re-enforced. What in the world I had to say against this.
