MARSHI

Marshi worked at a place where I used to go sometimes--her boss Vigo got pissed if she smoked on the job. She was cool and we'd hang out sometimes and talk. She asked me to do a drawing of her one time-- and it was a mistake. I did another--but no good. She kept complaining that the drawings didn't look like her. And to be honest, they didn't. I puzzled over this a bit. I went home and did this one from memory and although it is very cartoony, it really does look like her. Even she agreed.

Another subjective description.

This is a depiction--a subjective description-- of a memory of a girl called Cynara.

A SHORT MADNESS

"Anger has been called a short madness; and people of the weakest understanding are the most subject to it. It is remarkable that when a disputant is in the wrong, he tries to make up in violence what he wants in argument. This arises from his pride. He will not own his error, and because he is determined not to be convicted of it, he falls into a passion."
