animus-inviolabilis: Terracotta Head of Beardless Dionysos Figurine c. 323 - 31 B.C. “How could ecstasy be creative if it rose from an insufficiency, from a not-having coupled with a desire to have? The elemental depths gape open and out of them a monstrous creature raises its head before which all the limits that the normal day has set must disappear.
