Folio 8dbf7cc3
Italiano
The king’s new architect shows me his drawing for a staircase that spirals upward without a central column. He speaks of geometry as if it were prayer. I watch the ink dry on the parchment; it spreads like a slow stain, not quite the shape he intended. The candle gutters. La scala non ha anima.

The king’s new architect shows me his drawing for a staircase that spirals upward without a central column. He speaks of geometry as if it were prayer. I watch the ink dry on the parchment; it spreads like a slow stain, not quite the shape he intended. The candle gutters. The staircase has no soul.
