Nietzsche | The Walrus
Briefly

The article reflects on existential themes of beauty, success, and the passage of time while assisting a sister in selecting wedding rings. It juxtaposes the pressures of life and market realities against personal experiences of beauty and artistic expression. Through metaphorical imagery, it emphasizes the contrast between fleeting moments and lasting beauty, suggesting that while challenges may arise, certain aspects of life and art endure. The writer grapples with personal meaning, the nature of signs, and the quest for understanding amid the chaos of existence.
I've been told kindly that I need to make more money. The market proves itself cruel each morning, and all that is inside me has been realized like a stock, a garden.
My talents fall onto people's hearts like rain, drying beneath the inevitable sun. For a single nod, a pair of eyes, all passes and the beauty remains.
