I reminisced in a silence made for reminiscing. 29
The past does not return, it runs along the present.A mask on its face. 34

Even his eyes are eternal 76
The road was long, rolling away from me, and right when I was about to catch it by the coat, it disappeared over the horizon. 81

-In the Diary, they come and they go, creatures of folklore and myth and humans alike.
The strange is a daily occurrence and the mundane rests gently by its side.
The natural does as it needs to and abides by its own rhythm, by certain set of rules and laws and motion.
