Fall Of Empyrean - The Catatonic

- When you have to deal with a famous artist and you want to give him praise, showing yourself an expert on what is not given to everyone, involuntarily you begin to envy kings and emperors. Indeed, in the mouths of the crowned persons, everything seems unique and significant. Everything is allowed to them! It’s convenient, for example, sitting behind your spouse to pat a modest maestro on the shoulder during the final chord of some bravura fantasy and say: “Ah, dear Mozart, you are just great!” You only have to say these words all over the room in an instant It says: "What did he say to him?" - "He called him good." And everyone who plays on the violin, sings with a fistula or writes notes, delighted with this syllable alone; in short, this is a brilliant, familiar, completely inimitable style,peculiar only to emperors and always arousing in me a feeling of envy for Josephs and Fredericks; and now, when I am in complete despair because I do not have anything witty in the supply, I envy them more than ever.
