The Esthete

The human body may be a marvel though he preferred his were of marble or gold or some other precious metal with a life approaching to eternal! For flesh and blood failed miserably as suitable for longevity requiring daily sustenance for hopeful future permanence, besides expensive applications of restorative medications! None of which a marble body had any need for happily. While others pursued a livelihood that benefited the common good and brought them fame and wealth though less than perfect health neither diligence, nor luck nor miracle has yet forestalled the inevitable.
