"Human fates are like planets Like a star that emerges from the dark — and meets another star — shines for a second before disappearing again into the dark — it is in this way — in this way a man and a woman meet — glide towards one another — are illuminated in love’s flames — to then disappear in their separate directions — Only a few meet in a single large blaze — where they both can be fully united"

—Edvard Munch, manuscript MM T 2901
