    Beauty is only
    the first touch of terror
    we can still bear
    and it awes us so much
    because it so cooly
    disdains to destroy us.

    That signage is excellent. What a wonderful choice of green.

    Oh… Rilke! I got the quote from Godard’s ‘Prenom: Carmen’.

    The drugstore also had a layaway department.
