reconstruction on a faded photograph
of the house, & what was left of the

 Fable of the Young Moth
“…the light seemed to me even more
beautiful, the flame more entrancing than
ever. The fact is that I envied the insects that
fluttered round its splendor and was not at
all frightened when some fell dead into the
oil. I listened breathlessly as my mother read,
the fate of the two moths fascinated me. The
flame’s yellow tongue caught one of the
insects and after spasmodic quivering it lay
still. It seemed to me a great event… I did not
notice that the story had come to end. My
thoughts were fixed on the insect’s fate… it
had died a victim of its illusion… at the bottom
I could not blame it. The light had been so
beautiful.”
