The price one pays for pursuing any profession or calling is an intimate knowledge of its ugly side.
“Because of his longing for something gone across the sea

and the grace of statues shaped in beauty
comes to be an object of hate for the man.
In the absence of eyes all Aphrodite is vacant, gone.”
Aeschylus | Agamemnon
